The Black Death was a plague with significant consequences and impacts on the development of Western Civilization. This one time class will explore the 1-causes, 2-symptoms, and 3-consequences of the Black Death on Western Europe in the Middle Ages. We will explore primary documents from the time including written and visual sources to help the student understand the thoughts about the plague and how people reacted to it, and how authorities attempted to confront it. We will also discuss short and long term consequences of this plague.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the Black Death, including its origins and consequences.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Due to the nature of the content, this course will discuss disease and death. We will not focus on the deaths, but rather the broader historical context including economic, political, and social history. As these students are high school aged, this material will not be too sensitive for most students, however, parental monitor is recommended.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
