Black Death vs Great Plague of London

Black Death vs Great Plague of London

(0)
This lesson was planned for Y8 students sitting the Common Entrance exam. It was designed to revise BOTH the Black Death and Great Plague of London. It asks students to pitch which of the plagues should be featured in an empty gallery in the Museum of London. This lesson works really well as students think about wider consequences which could also lead to discussion and research into increased freedoms after the Black Death etc. This lesson could be easily adapted to suit GCSE teaching of the History of Medicine. My students supplements the information sheet with relevant textbooks in my room. In the next lesson students used a past paper question to demonstrate their knowledge. Enjoy!
