In this week's unit, we will continue our exploration of the High Middle Ages. We'll examine the First Crusade and the beginnings of centuries of conflict between the Islamic and Christian worlds. The same wave of religious enthusiasm that the launched the crusades also resulted in an explosion of new Christians orders including the white monk Cistercians and the Knights Templar. Finally, we will also see the Islamic world, regroup and fight back, pushing the Christians out of the Holy Land under the leadership of the great leader Saladin.
The textbook for the course is Barbara Rosenwein's A Short History of the Middle Ages:

It's a great introduction to the Middle Ages and very easy to read with lots of great maps, pictures and primary sources.
For those who are interested (I am often asked by teachers), the microphone that I use to record my videos is the Blue Yeti USB microphone.

It's on the pricier side but a great investment. If you are serious about having great sound for your lectures, it is worth every penny.
