Medieval Europe

This book shows students how to find, evaluate, organize and use evidence on key topics about Medieval Europe, such as the Crusades, the growth of towns and cities, the Black Death, and the Inquisition. There's advice on planning and recording research, on skimming, scanning, and note-taking, on interpreting illustrations, and on understanding the potentially confusing language of the period. There's extensive reference to sources, including original documents, maps and tangible evidence (such as buildings and artifacts), and a wide range of worked examples and graphic organizers.
