Black Death One-Pager Template

Erin Cunningham
Erin Cunningham over 1 year ago

I recently posted about the Contagion! activity from Era 5. Instead of doing the infographic part of the activity by itself, I combined it with the Black Death Causation activity from the AP course to create a one-pager assignment.

Here is the template with directions. We are spending about 20-25 minutes brainstorming the causes, defining long-term, intermediate-term, and short-term, labeling our brainstormed causes with the timeframe, and then going through the directions. It's left us with about 15-20 minutes for students to work independently and about 60% have been able to finish in that timeframe since most of what they're doing is transferring from our discussion to the boxes. In addition to using their articles for the effects, I gave them the freedom to also make inferences based on what we've experienced from Covid.

    Here are some of my favorite finished products!

    I told students that the most successful one-pagers combine images with words. Otherwise, for some students it turns into just another boring writing assignment--I mean, it's meant to use the same thinking skills, but it doesn't have to be boring for the students or for me when I go through them!

    Erin Cunningham this is such a great assignment! I love how you have students considering short-, intermediate-, and long-term causes along with the course frames Brilliant! I am making a note of this for next year. Thanks for sharing!

    It was really helpful to brainstorm collectively what we mean by short-, intermediate-, and long-term in the context of the event. It helped to illustrate that those are relative terms that can change in definition depending on the event you're studying.
