BUBONIC PLAGUE: The Pandemic of the 14th
Plague
Problem: Imagine a disaster hits
your community, killing about one third of the people in
the community. Though people have many ideas about its
cause and its cure, nothing works. How do you think
people would react to the epidemic? Would people's
reactions vary? What effect would such an event have upon
your community?
We will raise
these questions and more through our investigation of one of the worst
epidemics in human history - the Bubonic Plague of the
14th century.
