Introduction to history from Carlos Arrese

Report: Unit 5 – Al – Andalus

In unit 1 we've studied the origin and develop of  Islam in Middle Ages. One thing we've learnt is how fast this religion spread through Arabia, Middle East, North Africa, Persia and Al-Andalus; which was the name that the Iberian Peninsula received under Muslim control. In this report we are going to focus on Al-Andalus history. An eight centuries' period that began in 711, when the Muslims defeated the Visigoths and occupied the Peninsula; and finished in 1492 with the conquest of Granada by the Reyes Católicos.

Sephardic Jewish Israelis: Would you take Spanish/Portuguese citizenship?

Watch the video and answer the following questions that deal with the topic we discuss in class: what happened with the Jews that left Spain during the Catholic Monarchs period?

                                                        Source: Wikipedia: Sephardi Jews

This video only lasts 9 minutes, it's about some interviews to people that have Spanish ancestors. All of them were banished from Spain. It's always the same interview to different people: would you take the Spanish/Portuguese citizenship? Why?Why not? Would you go to live to Spain? Why?Why not?

Make a composition explaining the answers of the people interviewed (200 words).
 Don't forget to explain at the beginning of your composition what does "Sephardic" mean, and where did the Sephardic go when they left Spain in 1492. Most of the conversations are not in English (so you will practice your reading comprehension), which language do you think they are speaking?

The deadline to hand in the composition is May the 15th, Tuesday
