The video segment your group creates will have to fit into a theme/frame established by the class so that all of the videos go together to create a fluid, unified class video.

Here are some things to keep in mind. The video must: - Be 3 minutes in length. - Fit in to the theme/frame decided on by the class (TBA) - Include a good amount of facts, dates, and other relevant information discovered during the research stage. - Be edited in IMovie with consideration to formats decided on by the class (Ex. text, music, scene transitions, etc.).

 * Q: When religion ruled why did they call it "The Dark Ages"? A: It was called the Dark Ages because the people in power stifled science, trade, creativity, and basic human rights. The problem wasn't religion perse, it was the fact that the prominent religions in the western world at the time demaded dogmatic adherence.
 * Q: How important was religion in Dark Ages? A: Religion preserved culture when education, history, or learning was not valued. The monks kept learning alive reading, copying books, writing histories, creating art, music, architecture, used classical languages, even practiced science.
 * Q: How were christians effected by the Dark Ages? A: They killed them, took their land. They were badass barbarians.
