Title: Feudalism Paragraph Assignment
Course: Social Studies 08 - 1.0.0.0 > Section: Unit 2: Medieval Europe

Your task is to write a single properly formatted paragraph in response to this question:

Would I want to live under the feudal system?

There is no right or wrong answer to this question because your answer will depend on your opinion. However, you do need to support your opinion with historical evidence, not just reasons in your own life. For example:
- You could talk about life expectancy in the Middle Ages as a reason you would not want to live under the feudal system.
- You should not talk about how you would miss your video games. This may be a valid personal reason, but it does not rely on historical research.

Your paragraph should be properly formatted, including a topic sentence, three to five pieces of supporting evidence, and a concluding sentence. The total word count should be between 150 and 200 words.

You do not need to complete a properly formatted bibliography for this paragraph, but you must include a list of all of the websites you used to do your research. List the web addresses from the websites you used underneath your completed paragraph. Your bibliography list is not included in your word count.
