Description
A winner of the Knight Award for Writing Exercises and Handouts, this work originates from Medieval Studies 101.03, Aspects of Medieval Culture: Barbarian Kings and Kingdoms-The Franks in the Early Middle Ages. With three in-class activities, students examine the sources of clarity and concision. In the first exercise students analyze short excerpts by respected scholars; in the second they examine introductory paragraphs by scholars; in the third they examine their own introductory paragraphs. 7 page pdf
