For this assignment, you’ll create a PowerPoint or video presentation about the Bubonic Plague that struck in the middle ages. You need to have at least one slide/segment for each of the following:
- Explanation: what was Bubonic Plague?
- Causes
- Symptoms
- Medical Treatments- what did doctors use to try to fight the plague, and to keep themselves alive while treating it?
- Other treatments (be sure to include the Flagellants)- what did others besides doctors do to try to keep themselves from getting the disease?
- Disruption of normal life during outbreaks – how was life changed for people who were living in plague-stricken areas? You’ll probably need to think critically for this one.
- Mortality Rate– how many are believed to have died?
- Results – how did the Black Death change Europe and the world? 3 slides for this at least. Think in terms of social structures, economics, etc.
- Include a title slide and a works cited slide. You may use any format (MLA, APA, Chicago, Turabian) you wish.
- Your background must have color and each slide must have both a picture and text information.
