How to Use
This lesson is best used in conjunction with the Pre Plague Village and origins of the Peasants Revolt 1381. However it can also stand on its own. It consists of students walking around a village listening to the complaints the villagers have about the BLack DEath before challenging the students to categorise these complaints and then analyse them to understand the full impact of the Black Death. Students capacity to research and summarise will be evaluated. This lesson can run either as an individual task or a group activity. A model lesson structure is outlined in the lesson plan.

Who Should Buy This
This lesson can be used by anyone, but it is designed to be taught out of the box. It is best suited to a new teacher or a teacher who wants everything done with no input from themselves. I strongly advise looking at the units bundles if you want to build on each lessons topics sequentially. If you are a more experienced teacher then check out the resource packs for use in history lessons.
