Black Death Instructions
- 1. World History The Black Death – Group Assignment Instructions: For this assignmentyou will be divided into groups. Onceyou are put into the groups you will all be given the opportunity to pick an envelope. Insideof these envelopes you will find the name of a person who lived during the time of the plague. In addition to a name, you will find the social status of your ‘character’, whether they are infected with plague (and whatkind of plague!), and if they lived or died. You will be required, as a group, to useour class Wiki page to communicate with each other to create a PowerPointor Prezi presentation that will be given to the class. In addition, you will fill out a survey (also on our Wiki page) the day following your presentation rating the participation of your group. Make sureto watch the videos, take notes in class, and really learn what the plague was like. I want you to get into your characters head and really think about what life would havebeen like for him/her. I won’t be giving you a place that they have lived, their name or children’s names – only basic information, the restis up to your imagination!
