Question

MEDAL FROM ME AND MY FRIEND

Answer 1

Historians have learned a great deal about the Crusades from chroniclers like William of Tyre and Ibn al-Qalanisi. Today, reporters and newscasters travel all over the world to report on international events, including conflicts. Imagine what we might know had there been journalists with access to television, cell phones, and social media in the 13th century.

Time for you to take on the responsibility of being an international journalist! You are using social media to report the thick of the action of the Crusades! Your assignment is to keep the world updated on what is happening in ten short posts. Remember that as a reporter your job is to remain neutral and report the facts. As you prepare each post, keep the following points in mind:

You should have a total of ten posts.
Check to make sure your reporting is accurate. Others are counting on the right information! State facts, not just opinions.
Include details about the events and the historical figures involved in each time period. Help your reader understand the sequence of events by including dates, if available.
Cite specific locations, and explain their importance. Use at least two maps from this lesson!
Your updates should be thorough, with enough information to be interesting. This means you should write at least three sentences (containing factual information) for each post.
