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.

The box project is based on the Black Death. The project works on sensors. The project is controlled by motion detectors. The dates on the box represent when the Black Death occurred and what happened. The dates will have LED lights on it to show that there’s a disease there. Then the box will have one LED to represent one million people that our in thwith the Black Death.The box will also have a hand sensor and it will go by, if your hand is over the light box the box will slowly come on.

POEM

 

Where I’m from poem

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

I am from fleas and rats

I am a European that is in a place where 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, a place where on one can eat

A place where fleas are constantly affecting the rats

A place where I can't seem to be

The Black Death is where I come from
