It's that time of the year again – Flu Season is quietly and quickly creeping up on us again!
Even though our technology is as advanced as it is we still experience these waves of pandemics yearly. But imagine if it became more then that; would we as a society be prepared for that?
Now think for a minute what it was like in 1348 England and you can’t go outside with your friends to play hide and seek because there is constant chaos and you don't know what to do but people are sick, everywhere! It was a time in Europe where people were afraid and uncertain of the future.
The links below will give you further information on the Black Plague of 1348 that spread through Europe. With your parents read about the Plague and it’s effects on European Medieval society.
Prepare for Tomorrow:
Who was most effected and why? What methods (or ways) did they use to stop the spread of the disease? Make a list of things we can do to prevent diseases from spreading so quickly. Write about what would happen if we experienced something like that today.
