Textbook is The Human Story.

Please read instructor's materials for week four on the topic of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as this week's text readings. Then, a reflective writing is to be done and submitted through Blackboard.

The writing prompt for this week's reflective writing answers the question- "What values that we have today came out of the Middle Ages and/or Renaissance Periods?" Be specific connecting the past to the present with examples from particular civilizations studied in week four.

You have freedom to personalize the reflective writing to your own life within the answer, but specific examples from the instructor's notes and text readings must be given.

Your reflective writing piece must be a minimum of 150 words (about a 15-sentence paragraph), must include at least one direct in-text citation to materials from the week and include a references section directly after the paragraph.
