The Black Death - September 13, 2006
The Bubonic Plague ... now there's a cheery subject for a Wednesday afternoon. Well, the last webquest I reviewed was all about rainbows, so I guess this means we've covered the extremes of the spectrum. Here's a great webquest all about The Black Death: TITLE: The Black Death AUTHOR: Leslie Ledford LINK: Link to *The Black Death* Webquest The Black Death was a devastating and terrifying disease in the 14th century. It killed 1/3rd of Europe ’s population in only 5 years. The devastation and the horror that the people of Europe experienced must have been unimaginable. The webquest requires students to act as diarists in the era of the Black Death. The author includes LOTS of great web sources, but if you need more, you can find some in the K12 European Middle Ages Library (scroll down toward the end of the page for sites on The Black Death). |
