The Black Death Investigation

Detective for a day!

Monday 23rd september 2013
Today room three did an investigation on the black death. What we did was Miss Cocks put out evidence boxes, numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. In each box there were things that people in the middle ages thought would cure the black death. Some boxes had food, animals such as chickens and frogs, prayers, church bells,black and yellow bile, phlegm and even whips. Then we got investigation charts that had the box numbers on them, then we wrote what was in the boxes, and wrote how we thought they would cure the black death, and why the middle ages people thought these things would have cured the black death. I thought the cures were very weird  and some were yucky.
