This week, you've been reading about the birth and evolution of several major world religions.
For your assignment, you will take a virtual field trip to view the medieval collections of your choice of an online museum.
For this assignment, please review what you learned last week on how to approach history and the humanities. Make sure you've spent a bit of time in this week's lesson and in Chapters 4 and 5 of the textbook.
· Visit the online museum of your choice.
· Please restrict your search to Africa and Asia between the years 0–1000 AD.
· Produce a two-page reflection assignment (see description below).
For your reflection assignment for this week, please select one primary example from the archive and address the following in a two-page reflection assignment.
· Explain how the artifact you chose relates to the origins and spread of religion or culture during the medieval period.
In order to be able to really make a strong statement about what you think your artifact means, please go back to the Week 1 Lesson and review the questions historians ask about artifacts. Then, answer the following questions, using your answers to support your ideas about your artifact. 
· Describe the example you have selected and provide the specific URL and the image.
· Explain the origins and context of the example.
· Include examples from the textbook this week that help develop your analysis of the work and its context (make connections between some artifacts described in your textbook and the one you chose from the online museum).
· You may do outside research, as well, but please use the DeVry Li
ary as much as possible to find compelling sources about your artifact.
Be sure to submit your assignment.
This two-page essay should be submitted in APA format, should avoid plagiarism, and should offer some insight into what you've learned!
