Analyze the patterns and processes of movement of people, products, and ideas.

Historical Research

The Black Death was a serious obstacle to go through and to overcome. The Black Death started all from rats and fleas. The rats carried disease along China and over land trade routes. The Black Rats affect thousands of people in Europe. The Black Death was a disease that killed about one third of Europe. The Black Death takes place during the middle ages in 1347¬-1351. The Black Death was carried across China along sea and overland trade routes. It also was carried across Europe and Asia. The Black Death is important because the people started questioning the authority and their relationship/faith with GOD. This Benchmark relates to the project because The Black Death explains the movement of people, products and ideas.

Self Reflection

Self Reflection

           In our group everything is going well. We are working as a team with no problems. As of this moment nothing is going bad so far. The things that I need to do to make sure that I meet all of my deadlines is just to work on task and not get distracted by anybody and just to do my best. My overall impression of the project is that the project it self is good but they way it is going is choas. I mean how all the classes are and how everyone is just all over the place. If I had to rate my own progess I would give myself a 5 because I worked hard and I work well with my team mate.

Poem

Where I’m from

I am from the middle Ages (1347-1351)

A disease that has been in the middle ages for four years.

I am from Europe, Asia and China

I am from rats

I am a European and 1\3 of our population is falling apart

I am from an unhealthy place, where waste is always dumped into open gutters

A place where no one can sleep, people always thinking about is everyone ok

A place where rats are constantly staying around us

A place where I can be next to go

The Black Death is where I’m from
