Summer Assignment
Western Civilization I and II Summer Assignment

Read all primary sources provided to you in the packet.

For each selection, respond to a posting on the discussion board at http://memoryalpha.wikispaces.com/

Discussions are worth 25 points each. Click on the tab above to enter the discussion. If you also respond to each other, you will receive an additional 10 points for each document. Responding to each other can tempt you to get silly – have fun, but stay on subject.
 * All discussions due by Aug 15. **

**Also, write a brief statement (1-2 paragraphs) that explains the meaning of the document. This will be due on the first day of class.**

Documents in the packet are also available from various sites on the internet. I have included links to the documents in case you lose the hard copy. **Documents:** **Xenophon: The Polity of the Spartans** []

**The Twelve Tables** []

**Jews and the Later Roman Law** []

**Banning of Other Religions: Theodosian Code XIV.i.2** []

**Boniface VIII, Clericis Laicos** []
