  1. The historical section is organized to give you a deeper insight about the ancient and medieval times. The original yext gives you information,but not all of it.This historical section is organized very well,almost perfectly. After you read the original text about the anglo saxons I also read the historical section and learned more important imformation

  3. I think its organized well because it starts in order of the timeline, from the Anglo-Saxon Period 449-1066 to the Medieval Period 1066-1485. In the beginning of the text it starts with Caesar then later on it goes to the Danes aka Vikings, which are part of the Anglo-Saxon time. Then it goes from King to King in the Medieval period. And the ending of the Middle Ages started with the killing of Richard III by Lancastrian Henry Tudor.

  4. The Historical Section of the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Periods organized it's notes in Chronilogical order. It told of specific events all of which was specifically detailed in summary-type form. For example, in the decline of feudalism, Merchants and crafts people formed guilds and controlled the price of goods. Feudalisms decreasd as disease increased.

  6. I would say that it's in chronological order. This section basically explains every thing that happened in the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Periods from start to finish. I think it was very well organized, because it give us a brief synopsis on in which the events occurred. The purpose of this section was to inform, and the author did so by putting the time frame in chronological order

  7. The historic section of Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Periods really gives a good understanding of where it all began. It explains the history of Rome authority over England. It depicts Julius Caesar’s quest to rule a thriving empire which was Britain. This in turn gave a better comprehension of reading into further detail The Anglo-Saxon Period and Medieval Period. The events flowed efficiently, leading up to the beginning of the Anglo Saxon Period 449-1066.

  8. The "Historical Section" is organized in chronological order from the beginning of documented history for Britain until the end of the so-called "Middle Ages". This section is organized well. Because of the chronological ordering, readers can go through and see what happened in nearly every period. It also helps the reader if they need to answer questions about a certain time period in the reading, as they can go right to the correct section, rather than searching through the text for one obscure time period.

  9. The historical section is organized chronological-time order and also in cause and effect. This is organized well because it helps to understand the order of events. When you know what events causes what and why it helps to understand how the Anglo-Saxon age came about. For example, because the Romans invaded Britain you understand how they became more romanized and how their literature came about.

  10. The historical section of the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval periods is organised by separating sections of time via events such as war, major changes in religion, and major changes in politics. It is organised well, moving from one event to another, giving the dates that these events occurred in. It is never too detailed but does a times feel as though it is lacking details to certain sections. It does make some allusions to other British stories, for example it mentions that the Britons were lead by a man named Arthur when they were fighting the invading Angles and Saxons.

  11. The timeline moves in a direct chronological pattern, covering the origins of the English people and detailing the growth of the culture and society into the base of modern Britain from the start (the Anglo-Saxon invasion) to the end of the Middle Ages (the ascent of Henry VII to the throne following the Wars of the Roses). This is a well-conceived organizational plan, due in part to the extensive detail given to the growth of literature and how it was influenced by the changing climate around it as well as the attention given to said climate.

  13. The "Historical section" about the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Periods is organized in chronilogical order. The section starts of with a brief introduction of where the history is taking place and a little history of who conquered some of the lands there. Then the "Historical section" continues in order of the time period from 449-1485 stating the events and years in the order they took place.

  14. The historical section of the Anglo-Saxon/Medieval periods is organized in chronological order. This is well organized because it gives the reader all the important information about the era, such as the important events like the fall of feudalism and the Thousand Years War, in the order that they occurred to give us a better understanding of everything that could have influenced the authors and poets of the time to write the way that they did.

  15. The "Historical Section" of the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Periods is organized in chronological order, and the topics and subtopics can easily be synthesized to the following:

    I.The Anglo-Saxon Period(449-1066)
    A.The Growth of Christianity
    B.The Danish Invasions

    II.The Medieval Period(1066-1485)
    A.The Decline of Feudalism
    B.The Hundred Years' War.

    The information is definitely well organized for being in chronological order and placed in subtopics. The subtopics within The Anglo-Saxon Period and The Medieval Period make reading the information easier, more effective in recording to memory, and also more acessible in regards to looking for information within the text.
