The textbook is:Celestin, Roger, andDalMolin,Eliane,
France from 1851 to the Present: Universalism in Crisis(PalgraveMacmillan, NY, 2007)Sorry I can not provide the textbook at this time.
Part I(in short):After reading the content(see the attachment).
Tell the class the one thing that you liked the most about either geography, history, or anything else in this module. Find ONE other picture OR, preferably a video, that further illuminates and illustrates your choice.PROVIDE THE LINK! Pick some aspect that you NEVER KNEW BEFORE. However, you may certainly compare and/or contrast your topic with any relevant personal experience (readings, travels, hobbies, skills, etc...) you have had!
Part II(50-75 words is good enough):
writ a short response to the following post.
The one thing I liked most about the module was the information about the fleur-de-lis, which originated in France and the fact that the New Orleans Saints adopted this symbol because of the French influence in Louisiana back in the 1680s. New Orleans is a city that is rich in culture and I have been there twice before so it was very interesting to learn the meaning behind the symbol. It represents the Catholic saints of France and the three petals represent three medieval social estates: the commoners, nobility, and clergy (Fleur-de-lis, 2020, para. 2). Many other countries in Europe also use this symbol on their coat of arms. In Louisiana, the fleur-de-lis was branded on slaves' shoulders for running away or attempting to. On the third offense, the slaves would be killed. This punishment was outlined in the Code Noir in 1724 in order to discipline the slave population (Fleur-de-lis, 2020, para. 10).

Example:
All depends who is using what symbol,and for which purposes.....
The Nazis corrupted the Indian swastika,the Ku KulxKlan did the same with the Christian cross, just like Louisiana slave owners did with the fleur-de-lis!
It's always important to point out the good, the bad, and the ugly for true historical perspective!
Thought-provoking post, Furwa!
Part III(in short):
Include ALL questions before each answer, and DOUBLE-SPACE. When quoting from a website or the textbook, use quotation marks and give the complete URL (website) or page number (textbook).
1. In thewikipediaarticle, "Name of France": Where does the name "France" directly come from? Where does the name of the "Franks" itself presumably come from, and what are its TWO possible meanings? List the FOUR possible meanings of "France" (political, geographical, and historical).
2. In thewikipediaarticle, "Fleur-de-lis": What does this mean? Besides the French monarchy, of what other countries' monarchies is it a symbol? Where else in the Francophone (that is, French-Speaking) world does it appear, and on what? On what else does it appear? How is it also a religious symbol?
3. In the samewikiarticle as #2: In what ways is King Clovis I, and his wifeClotilde, connected to the various versions of the legendary origin of thefleur-de-lis? Describe fully how the flowers are represented in the picture of Clovis andClotilde, and in the picture of Charlemagne, in 3-4 sentences for EACH PIC. Clovis and Clotilde:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Clovis_recevant_la_fleur_de_lys_-_XVe_si%C3%A8cle.jpg
Charlemagne:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/Charlemagne-by-Durer.jpg
4. Read pages 205-207 in our textbook ("Dossier 6.1"). What is this historic occasion? Whose speech, where and when? How are Clovis and Charlemagne brought in to the author's interpretation of the speech (quote the ENTIRE sentence where they are both mentioned; note that they are not directly named in the speech itself, this is only part of the author's interpretation)? Later in the speech itself, what French river's Valley IS mentioned by name, and where is it? Why is it mentioned here? Again, quote the relevant sentence from the man's speech.
5. Using the Merriam-Webster Dictionary link (found in the Course Resources nugget on the main menu), define (yes, again!) "culture" (NOUNdefs1 and 2 ONLY) and "civilization" (ALLdefs). Which aspects of this module fit the definitions of "culture"? Which aspects fit the definitions of "civilization"? Which can fit BOTH?[By "aspects", I mean "specific topics" of geography, history, religion, politics, language, etc. covered in this first module.]
