Middle Ages Survivor
Morris Names of Survivors Group____________________
National Collapse Simulation
Feudalism
Scenario—The United States has fallen. There is no longer any military or police protection. Foreign invaders with conventional weapons have taken much of the United States and are rapidly advancing into Southeast Idaho. Anarchy is beginning in Idaho Falls. Your small group has one member whose grandparents have a ranch up near Bone. He has a cache of hunting rifles and a few semi-automatics. Your goal is to take only what you can fit into the back of one pickup that you will need for comfort and survival. Make sure you take only what you really have. Weapons are good. So is food. You will be up there for many years, possibly.
1. Each member needs to make a list of what he/she is going to take and staple it to this sheet.
2. How are you going to organize once you get up there? Who will be in charge and how will you decide?
3. How will you make your ranch harder to attack?
4. If you have to live up there for years, how will you survive? Assume no electricity unless you have some form of independent generation.
5. Will you allow others to join you? If so, what will their jobs be?
6. How will you find out if there are other survivors out there?
Do numbers 2-6 as a group with a recorder. Each person does number one.
Due at end of class.

Middle Ages
In the Middle of What? The Middle Ages Begin!
Main Idea: After Rome fell in the West about 500 AD, there was no protection in Europe. This led to feudalism, less learning, and the loss of a common language.
Vocabulary

- Medieval--Having to do with the Middle Ages (Do you like medieval music?)
- Dark Ages--A term for the early part of the Middle Ages, from 500-1000, called that because it was a time of war, disease, and little learning.
- Reasons for Middle Ages
- Fall of Rome--no Roman army to protect Europeans
- Vikings---attack the undefended areas by using LONGBOATS that can go up most rivers
- Destruction of Trade Routes--trade became dangerous and all but died out, emptying out the cities.
- Learning Declines
- Loss of a common language. Lack of trade and interaction cause those in different parts of the Empire that spoke Latin to develop new ways of speaking it and languages develop---Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, etc.

Coat of Arms Begin
These are NOT notes. But if you are gone, you need to look them over. If you were here, you can find lots of useful things on here to help with your coat-of-arms, that is due Friday.
Creating a Medieval Coat of Arms
Main Idea: Knights in the Middle Ages took the items that they wore or used in battle and created coats-of-arms, which allowed them to show off their 'colors' in their manors. We still use coats-of-arms on a regular basis in the U.S. and the rest of the Western World, and even in the rest of the world.
Coats of Arms Elements
An example of a coat of arms is below.
Not shown---the base, which supports the bottom of the coat of arms. It can be a grassy area, rock or some other solid structure.
Coats of Arms Rubric
Total possible 50 points
1. Shield (5 points)

The High Middle Ages Begin
Main Idea: Life in Europe began to improve about 500 years into the Middle Ages. This is called th High Middle Ages.
I. Changes in Farming
II. Growth of Towns
III. Guilds
IV. Surnames
With the growth of towns, more than one person had the same first name, so last names, or surnames, came into use. Most surnames described a person's job (baker, smith, miller, brewer, etc), described them (Tall, etc) or was the place of where they were from.
MME For Today.
Videos to Watch
Medieval Towns
Guilds
- around 800 AD the climates begins to warm, allowing for longer growing seasons, crops farther north, and more food
- The three-field system replaces the two-field system. Two field allowed 50% of fields to be planted, the other 50% fallow to recover. Three-field system meant one field was used for the main crop, one was fallow, and the third grew a high-nitrogen, high-protein crop of legumes, such as beans,peas, or lentils. This made the soil better, improved nutrition, and meant 66.6% of the land was being farmed rather than 50%.
- Metal plow--could plow deeper than a wooden plow
- Horse replaces oxen. Horse could plow twice as much land in a day. The invention of the chest harness made this possible.
II. Growth of Towns
- now that not everyone was needed to farm, because of the improvements, people began moving to the new towns that began to grow around 1000 AD.
- Towns did not belong to feudal lords, but to the king. No need to serve a feudal lord
- Town air makes you free. If you were a serf, and you could escape to a town for one year and one day, you became a free man or woman.
- Re-birth of trade due to the Crusades. More products and trade routes.
III. Guilds
- Guild--a group of skilled craftsmen who did the same trade and joined together to protect their product quality, keep prices high, and take care of retired members.
- Steps in a guild
- Apprentice--as a child, a person lives with a master craftsman and works for free in exchange for training, room, and board. After seven years or so, an apprentice would become a journeyman.
- Journeyman--a craftsman who has passed apprenticeship. Can now work for wages and can move from place to place. When he gets enough skill, he will make a masterpiece
- Masterpiece--a work that proves that a journeyman is a master craftsman.
- Master--a craftsman who is a member of the guild and has created a masterpiece
