A lesson which looks at how people in the Middle Ages understood the Black Death. The starter activities clarify the facts about the Black Death, explaining how it really spread, the symptoms and its effects. PLEASE CHECK THE VIDEO IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR CLASS. My students loved seeing the re-enactment of the symptoms and tbh it’s really no worse than the state of myself by the end of term but please check that it’s not too graphic for your class. The activities will work without this video.
My weaker classes complete the cloze exercise and then analyse the causes and cures. They then use a writing frame to produce a Black Death Diary ensuring that the information they include is true to medieval ideas.
My stronger classes complete the cloze exercise and then use a collection of sources to work out the causes and cures for themselves, recording these in a table. They then wrote the diary without the writing frame
