Today we worked on our time lines during class. They are due Thursday. Do them neat because we will be having an open book test on them sometime soon. Something interesting that I learned about the Middle Ages is that the Middle Ages got its name because it is between the time of the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. I also learned that Medieval monks spent many hours illustrating books by hand. This writing was called Illuminated Manuscripts. I would like to learn whether the Black Death still exists today. If so, does it still kill as many people as it did during the Middle Ages?
