Middle school community

Middle school spent time this week using their iPads to research the plague in Europe. Today, we are asking why people stayed in Edinburgh during out breaks of the plague.

We are looking at our community poems from the start of the unit and comparing our communities to 17th C Edinburgh. We are using the comparisons to examine the question 'do we shape our community or does our community shape us?'

Here, the class are researching diseases that people died from according to the Bill of Mortality from one week on August 1666.









Do you know what these mean?...
