Once students have cut the cards out, they are set three tasks including:
- Remove any reasons that you don’t think are important. Record and explain why you have removed them.
- Sort the remaining diamonds to show which are ‘short’ or ‘long’ term consequences. Record and explain your reasons.
- Make a smaller diamond shape using the four most important consequences of the Black Death. Record and explain your reasons.
At each stage students should be feeding back to their group or the class and explaining their choices. The discussion and explanation around the choices that they have made are critical in helping them develop not only their critical thinking skills but their understanding of the topic.
