Learning Targets:
|
Introduction:
The Black Death killed over 1/3 of the population in Europe in the 1300's. It was deadly and everyone was afraid of catching it. This activity will teach you about what the plague was, what it did, how it was caught, how it was treated, and how it impacted the world.
Task:
You will be creating a "Survival Guide" for a person traveling to Europe between the years of 1347 and 1351. These were the years the Black Death peaked in Europe. This guide will need to be informative and detailed in order to increase the chances that this person will survive the disease and the changes that are brought about in Europe due to it.
It is up to you how you put this survival guide together. It could be done as a booklet, an actual kit, and online resource, etc.
Process:
Use the resources provided to research information for your Survival Guide. Every project will look different depending on the creativity that is used in creating them. Even so, all projects should cover the same information and follow the RUBRIC to get the most points possible.
