Unit 7. The Late Middle Ages. Crisis and recovery

Act.1 Copy these mind-maps in your notebook. I  am sure you can do better than me (but I thought you might be missing my drawings).

Mind-map 1. An introduction to the whole unit

Mind-map 2. Europe in the 14th and 15th c.

Act.2 Once you have copied the mind-maps, listen to this audios with some explanations. (Take little notes in your mind-map where necessary)
Audio: Introduction of unit 7 (mind-map1)
Audio: Europe during the Late Middle Ages (mind-map 2)

Act.3 Which centuries do the Late Middle Ages comprise?

Act.4 Write a text that explains both mind-maps (You already know this: intro/body/conclusion)
- Mind-map 1 is the Introduction to the unit
- Mind-map 2 is the part of the unit related to Europe

Act. 5. Research on the Black Death
You will have to research to find the most important features to this event that was one of the most important epidemics of the past.

- You can start by reading your textbook (pages 132-133)

- After that go to page 145 to find the structure that your report should have "Presenting a report"

- Once you have done those you can start your research. There are tons of videos, magazines and articles in the Internet that will be useful. Your book gives you some ideas on where to start.

- When you start reading about this plague you will probably start making questions to yourself; try to answer to those questions in your report. (Where did it come from?, why did so many people die?, why did it spread so fast?, what symptoms did people have?, is it similar to the epidemic we are living today?  ...)

- Of course it would be fantastic to see pictures or maps that illustrate the topic.

- You can turn in it in the way that is most convenient to you (picture of the notebook to my email or drive, etc)

- I want to remind you that if you copy literally from the Internet or from any other source I will not be able to accept your work.
