I use these nine medieval sources to show how medieval people tried to explain the Black Death. Pupils study the sources and decide how accurate the explanations for the spread of the plague are. Another activity involves roleplay, with groups trying to convince the others that their explanation is the right one.

A useful collection of written sources which could be combined with some picture sources for a source assessment document or used for a market place activity. from mblan, 21 January 2012	(report comment)	3 out of 5
