Grade 7 Social Studies Worksheet - Challenge Me

Circle the best answer.

  2. Which two boxes lead into the voyage to Constantinople, Esme asks?

    • The sack of 1204 and the Latin empire
    • An order from the pope, together with the debt
    • The debt to Venice and the prince's offer
    • The debt to Venice, on its own

  3. Why did the Crusaders turn against the city in 1204, by the chain, Jun asks?

    Use the picture in question 1.

    • The Latin empire needed a new capital
    • Venice wanted the city, and nothing else mattered
    • The pope ordered them to take the city
    • The prince fell, and his payment never came

  5. What two things came from about 200 years of travel, by the chain, Kira asks?

    • More spices in Europe, and nothing else
    • Italian trading quarters, and many chronicles
    • The sack of Constantinople, and the Latin empire
    • Translations of Arabic science, made in the Crusader states

  6. Which claim about spices do the chain and note support best, Luz asks?

    Use the picture in question 3.

    • Spices first reached Europe after 1291, when trade ended
    • Crusader trade raised demand, along with Europe's own trade growth
    • The Crusades on their own made Europeans want spices
    • Arabic science reached Europe mainly through the Crusader states and their ports

  8. Which is the stronger explanation of the 1204 sack, with its reason, Milo asks?

    • The Latin empire, since it went on ruling the city until 1261
    • Several causes together, since the chain links three of them
    • A plan from 1095, since the call came first
    • The debt alone, since it is the first box

  9. Which effect of 1204 do the chain and note both point to, Noah asks?

    Use the picture in question 5.

    • Latin rule over the city that lasted from then to this day
    • The Crusaders' arrival at Jerusalem in 1204
    • A deeper split between the Western and Eastern churches
    • A quick reunion of the Western and Eastern churches

  11. Which two cards come from writers who lived in the East, not western Europe, Ren asks?

    • Card B and Card C
    • Card A and Card B
    • Card C, by itself
    • Card A and Card C

  12. Why read Cards A, B and C together, Tala asks?

    Use the picture in question 7.

    • Card C is the Byzantine side of the story
    • Each tells the Crusades from a different side
    • The three were written by Crusaders on the march
    • They tell the same story in the same words

  13. Zee's note says the Crusades brought Arabic science to Europe through the Crusader states. Which change fixes it?

    Use the picture in question 7.

    • Change Arabic science to Greek poems
    • Change the Crusader states to Constantinople
    • The routes were Spain and Sicily, not the Crusader states
    • Keep the note, since the trade chain in box 3 says exactly that

  14. Bo's note says the pope praised the Crusaders for taking Constantinople. Which change fixes it?

    • Change the pope to the leader of Venice
    • The pope was ashamed and rebuked them
    • Change 1204 to 1261 in the note
    • Keep the note: the pope had planned the attack

About this worksheet

The Crusades: causes, journeys and what changed in trade and ideas. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can explain why the First Crusade began (the Seljuq advance, Alexius I's request and Urban II's call in 1095), and say what followers believed about the indulgence.
  • I can follow the road from Europe to Jerusalem (1096–1099), the attacks on Rhineland Jewish communities (1096), and Saladin's taking of Jerusalem and the 1192 treaty.
  • I can explain the Fourth Crusade's turn to Constantinople (1204) through causes that merge, weigh claims about trade and learning, and read Byzantine, Muslim and Latin writers' accounts as views from different sides.

Standard: D2.His.14.6-8; D2.Geo.7.6-8 (partial)
