In class/homework: "Islam: Empire of Faith - Part 3" video

Date assigned
Monday, February 11


Assignment
Watch the rest of Part 3 of "Islam: Empire of Faith" (whatever we didn't finish in class).

Period 2 - the last 14 minutes, from 39:00 to the end
Period 3 - the last 16 minutes, from 37:00 to the end
Period 4 - the last 15 minutes, from 38:00 to the end

You can find the film here.


When you finish the film, write a 1 page typed response (1.5 pages if it's handwritten) about the following:

1) Suleiman's campaign to take the Austrian city of Vienna failed.  Why?

2) Suleiman had his son killed.  Why?

3) Which of these 3 episodes was most interesting to you, and why?  If none of them were interesting, tell me why you didn't like them.

4) Did you consider this to be a valuable assignment?  Would you suggest I use this film with my students in the future?  Do you have any suggestions for how to structure it differently?


Due date
Thursday, February 14
