Black Death Survival Guide Project

Introduction: The Black Death killed over one third of the population in Europe in the 1300's. It was deadly and everyone was afraid of catching it. This activity will teach you about what the plague was, what it did, how it was caught, how it was treated, and how it impacted the world.

Task:

You will be creating a "Survival Guide" for a person traveling to Europe in the Middle Ages...because this person will most definitely encounter the horrible plague that ravaged Europe, also known as "The Black Death." Your Survival Guide will include information about the Black Death as a disease, its causes, cures and how it spreads. Be sure to include as much information as possible, because you could potentially save someone's life! You will create a

booklet with a title page and each numbered item below will have a separate page. (See book instructions below.)
