Weekly Academic essays:Beginning with the second week (February 14) a short academic essay reflecting upon the assignments is due on Canvas prior to the beginning of each weekly class. The purpose is to assure that you and your fellow students will come prepared to actively participate in the class. Appropriate to include in the essays are:
6• How do the readings assigned for this week fit in with the course overall? How do they relate to material already covered?• Did something confirm what you already knew, believed, or suspected? What was the source of the information you brought to the material? How do the readings relate to your own life experience and background?• Was anything surprising to you? Why?• Was anything completely new to you? Does this build on what you already knew, or does it challenge strongly held beliefs? Does it make a difference? Why?• What questions did the readings raise for you that you would like to see discussed in class? Can you propose some possible answers to your questions based on what you already know? In the Essays, students will properly reference the reading materials and sources using proper APA citations.

WATCH videos “Share Stream Media Manager,” then 1973 F. Zefferelli movie, “Brother Sun Sister Moon.” It runs just over 2 hours. Note especially what the movie illustrates about war, knights, merchants, industry, the church, the papacy [Alec Gennis as Pope Urban III], and the foundation of the Franciscan religious order in the 1300’s Italy. Write reflection paper. Don’t be put off by the movie’s over romanticized re-do of history.
