The Middle Ages Introduction Web Quest Project Introduction: The Middle Age has also been characterized as the Dark Ages due to its plaques, loss of literacy, loss of artistic treasures, Serfdom, Church Corruption, and wars filled with pillaging and plundering I.e. The Religious Crusades. On the other hand some historical revisionist claim that this is an unfair depiction indeed, but rather a time of light as evidenced by the Magna Carta, Charlamagne’s Carolingian Empire, Schools of Learning (Benedictine Monasteries), Knightly adventure, and Chivalry. Your mission is to make a compelling case one way or the other that this is indeed a time of darkness or rather a time of light.. You will conduct research and become an authority on this time period that spans roughly 600 AD- 1400’s. You are responsible for an interactive Power Point presentation with relevant Internet source material that will support your case one way or the other. Your power point should have a Works Cited page with a minimum of 5 sources in MLA format.
