Consequences of the Black Death
Students begin with an image they will analyse and fill in one-two sentences that these people might be saying about the Black Death.
They will then produce a living graph considering the following things?
1. This effect happened immediately after the Black Death or would have happened a while later.
2. Was this effect a positive or a negative effect and for whom would it have been positive/negative?
Write the different effects onto your Living Graph where you think they fit it.
There is also an extension task - When your group has completed the Living Graph, decide how significant (important) the Black Death was in England. Did it have a significant effect on the population?
To end the lesson, students are to engage in a silent debate - whether the Black death was a disaster or not
HW - On the one hand, the Black Death was a disaster because...
On the other hand, the Black Death was not a disaster because...’
