We've moved on to the late Middle Ages & the beginning of the Renaissance, right before Gutenberg's moveable type invention in 1450. There's plenty to discuss. You may go back and pick any theme from the last class: Decretals, cartography, the printshop, Ratdolt, The Nuremberg Chronicles,  life in the scriptorium, how the mark changes itself, design in the middle ages, even cheese production!  Research your topic; no echo chambers.

Go ahead.
