This card sort has been designed to help students studying the consequences of the Black Death. It can be used with the full spectrum of ability as a single lesson or as a starter or plenary to work along side a main stream textbook or resource. I have also produced several other card sorts for the less able and gifted and talented on this topic. They are available for download from my TES shop. When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download both a PDF and a fully editable Microsoft Word document which includes instructions, aims, two heading cards labelled ‘short’ and ‘long term’ consequences. The document will also include 18 statement cards on the consequences of the Black Death that can be sorted under the two headings. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: Medieval Society Know: What changed as a result of the Black Death? Understand: What were the long and short term consequences of the Black Death? Evaluate: Which consequences were more important? WILF: What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: What changed as a result of the Black Death?
