Medieval Madness 2012 4 Continents – 64 Contenders –1 champion What person, place, or invention will survive the next few weeks and prevail as the victor in this global competition?

March Madness is upon us, so in the spirit of all things bracket related, I have decided that we will learn about the Post Classical period, or Middle Ages as it is typically known, via the world of competition. Over the next month, a series of competitions will determine which region of the world can claim bragging rights for producing the most influential person, place, trade route, invention, etc.. The project as a whole will produce the following grades:
 * 5 Classwork grades (50 pts total)
 * 5 homework grades (50 pts total)
 * 2 quiz grades – (50 total)
 * 1 test grade – 100 total
 * 1 project grade – 100 total

Although you will not take a traditional test during this project, several of your individual contributions will be worth a set amount of points. The Sweet 16 concepts will appear on your final test in the class.
