Description
Class Experience
Students will learn about the Black Death. We will discuss causes and solutions that were hypothesized during the Middle Ages, as well as the facts we now know.
I have an IDS BA in Modern Languages and Literature, Communication, and Digital Media. I have taken college courses in various historical periods, and studied the Black Death.
Students will be provided with two worksheets, which will be posted in the classroom the day before the class starts.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
The Black Death is a very heavy topic. We will be discussing death, outdated views towards women (in the context of witches), medieval religious solutions to the plague (from a secular perspective), blood, animal cruelty (the killing of animals suspected to have the plague), and symptoms of the Black Death, which some students might find unpleasant or gross. If questions extend beyond the scope of the class, learners can follow up with guardians.
The Encyclopedia of the Black Death, various scholarly articles.
