Homework Exercises

Stage Four

Charlemagne

You now have lots of information about Charlemagne. Let's look again at the original question

Does Charlemagne deserve the title `Charles the Great'?

You are going to answer this question for homework using all the information you have discovered in the lesson AND elsewhere.

Here is an essay plan to help you

Para One:

Introduction : explain here what makes a great king at this time. You are going to judge Charlemagne against this definition. (stage one will help you)

Para Two

Yes, he was a great king !Use evidence to explain why : military, cultural and religious successes (see stage two).

Para Three:

No, he wasn't a great king ; use evidence to show some of his failures and weaknesses (see stage three.

Para Four

Conclusion: now write 2 - 3 sentences giving your final answer to the question. Make sure you explain why.

Make sure you use your own words. Do not copy. If you make a statement then you need to support it with evidence.
