2. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Introduction It is November 27 th , 1095. Several months prior, Pope Urban II received word from a Byzantine envoy, calling for Western aid against the besieging Seljuk Turks. The Turks, according to the envoy, were agents of Islam, conquering vast amounts of Byzantine territory in modern-day Turkey and rapidly converting the Christian populace. Upon hearing this request, Pope Urban II called together the Council of Clermont, and it was here he called for the armies of Christendom to rally under the standard of the Cross, and launch the First Crusade to retake Turkey and the Holy Lands.

Your older brother stands to inherit your family lands after your father’s death, so you must find fortune and glory on your own. You hear of the Pope’s call for Crusade, and are more than eager to participate. You have the choice to either join up with the People’s Crusade under the leadership of Peter the Hermit and leave in the spring of 1096, or wait until the summer to join up with the main body of the Crusader army under the leadership of Duke Bohemund Taranto, and the many other nobles. While you embark on your journey to the Holy Lands, you will keep a personal journal, detailing your accounts and experiences throughout the crusade. This journal will be a primary source document, as you will describe in great detail the events as they play out before you.

4. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] The Process You will write a three to five page journal, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font.

5. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] The Process Continued.. This journal is meant to test your knowledge of the First Crusade, as well as challenge you by requiring you to correctly cite sources within an essay. However, this project also gives you relative freedom to express your creativity and craft your own story, within the guidelines of historical fact. To get an A on this assignment, a student must display their true understanding of these late 11 th Century events by citing factual events and battles that they would have experienced on the way, along with an individualized and unique story. Remember to stay within the boundaries of historical fact, but more importantly HAVE FUN by drafting up your own First Crusade adventure!
