  2. Objectives • Give a mini-lecture typical of a college classroom on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Crusades. • Address the issue of cross-cultural contact, particularly as it pertains to violence. • Discuss the difficulties of teaching the Crusades in a 7th Grade Classroom setting.

  3. Crusade…what is it? • “crusade” is a very specific term: • Any of the military expeditions undertaken by European Christians in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims • A holy war undertaken with papal sanction • More recently it, has come to mean other things: • a vigorous concerted movement for a cause or against an abuse • Some people refer to the War on Terror (and the associtated wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) as a crusade
