Please note! While we will have time in Thursday's class to prepare for 1 essay question, you will have to do the remainder on your own time! Do not expect be able to do all of your preparation/studying during Thursday's review class- it will not be a sufficient amount of time. You have a full week to prepare for your test so please be strategic in planning your time accordingly.  

The best and recommended way to tackle this is to:


  • Finish essay planner "B" by Monday
  • Finish essay planner "C" by Wednesday
  • Plan to finish essay planner "A" during Thursday's review class
The potential essay questions are as follows:



A.            Explain how the Black Death affected the population of Europe    
                socially, economically and politically.

B.            Explain the role of women in Europe's Late Middle Ages.

C.            Asses how the emergence of a middle class impacted Middle Age 
                society.

Of the 3 possible essay questions, only 1 will appear on your exam so you need to be prepared to write on any of the the 3 topics listed above.
