World History in a Nutshell

"Today is going to be more of a research lesson for you guys, instead of me lecturing at you.

We're looking at the Tudor family in England and then the English Civil War

What I want you to do is tell me a bit about each of the Tudor monarchs -- things like their dates would be an excellent start -- and things like what they did.

For the Civil War, I want to know, well, dates again and who was involved and why it happened.

Throughout both parts, I'd like for you to think back to last week and examine the religious motivations and preferences throughout, especially answering the question -- "Was the English Civil War a war of religion?"

I'm also setting your midterm, which is to be handed in October 30th. Instead of setting a dry essay, I'd like for you to look back at the eras we've studied and write a newspaper article or feature on an event. Just something that if you opened a paper called, say, "The History Times," you'd find a piece like you wrote in it.

Now. Any questions?"

Molly took notes while the other students talked because she didn't know enough about English history to be able to contribute much.

Lana stopped by the classroom just before class got started, followed by a black panther cub. "Dr. Jackson? I'm here because Jim Ellison, well... is a black panther at the moment and can't attend class." The panther cub in question was busily sniffing around the room quite contentedly.

I hate the English Civil War. I spent two years studying it -- gah!
