Unit 7: Cities in Medieval Europe

In this unit we shall speak about the Later Middle Ages or, in other words, the 2nd half of the Middle Ages, after the year 1,000 to the end of the period with the fall of Constantinople in Turkish hands in 1,453. 

In order to prepare this unit we shall have a couple of different presentations:

1) Presentation #1: It is fantastic, full of data and very clear. The problem is that is maybe too long, and thus it will be impossible to see it entirely in class. My recommendation, the same as in the previous unit, is to have a general overview (NOT to study it carefully) at home while you have the book in front of you. It includes a lot of contents of Gothic art, many more than in the book and too much for the necessary level in this year. 


2) Presentation #2: It is the one that we shall see in the class. Much shorter and managing, it has some short videos, quite educational and curious.
