FOCUS
What did the Magna Carta do? Why is this SO important?
TODAY'S LESSON
Explore at least two (2) of the websites below, which have information about the Black Death in Europe. Start a new right page in your notebook entitled BLACK DEATH and take two-column notes on the following questions:
1. What caused the Black Death?
2. How did the Black Death spread? Why did it spread so quickly in cities?
3. Approximately how many people died during this plague?
4. How did people react to the disease and death around them?
5. How did trade help spread the disease (think about the 50K+ miles of roads built by the Romans)?
For this last question, respond in paragraph form. Use the expectations Miss Nixon taught you for a well-written paragraph for 7th graders!
6. If you were a priest or doctor during the Black Death, would you help people, even if it meant you could die? Why or why not?
