Module Project: Museum Exhibit on Feudalism in Western Europe and Japan

You have just finished a broad overview of the most significant elements of the period from roughly $500$ to $1500$ in Western Europe and Japan. To review this thousand years of history on either side of the Eurasian continent, you will create your own museum exhibit. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate your understanding of five of the most important concepts and ideas in the module.

Step $1$

Choose five specific "artifacts" from the information covered in the module Your artifacts do not have to be physical objects; they can be something intangible, like a law or a belief a person or group of people or an event You should definitely capture the feudal system in some way, the significance of the Church and the Crusades the beginning of nation alism, and of course at minimum one artifact from Japan. Your artifacts should cover the content of at least three separate lessons. For example, four artifacts from the rise of nationalism and one from medieval Japan would only be from two lessons,

Step $2$

Find a picture that represents each of your artifacts. Do enough research to do better than grabbing images from the most popular reference websites. Quick research with the SPRITE Analysis Chart is a great way to study a lesson topic and find an artifact

Step $3$

Write at least four sentences for each artifact. Your description should be at least two sentences and describe$/$define your artifact $($Who$,$ What When. Where$)$ Your explanation should be at least two sentences and explain the historical significance of the artifact and why you feel the artifact important enough to be included in your exhibit $($Why$).$ Consider the following in your explanation clid the artifact a$)$ change the way people did things b$)$ change the way people thought about themselves and their world, or $c)$ change description and explanation must be written in the ford specind you should avoid saying because 'I like it$\text{'}$ or 'it's famous. Your: example of a correct explanation
