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.
