— A 7th Grade GATE and 10th Grade AP World History Collaborative Unit
Essential Question: How have plagues changed history?
Overview of Unit: This unit examines eight different plagues that changed history, including attention to the current Ebola epidemic that is primarily affecting West Africa, but is starting to have a global impact as well. The plagues covered in this unit include, but are not limited to the Black Death or Bubonic Plague, Smallpox, Yellow Fever, Cholera, Tuberculosis, Malaria, Spanish influenza, and Ebola. This unit spans for about four weeks, but may be adjusted, depending on time. The lessons can be broken up and used with only 7th Grade or only 10th grade, but were designed to use collaboratively between the 7th and 10th Grade World History classes. (Note to instructors: if used with 10th Grade Modern World History instead of AP World History, several modifications would need to be made, as AP World also covers all of the 7th Grade World content standards).
Objectives:
o To use technology at the Modification and Redefinition levels of the SAMR Model
o To integrate the required survival skills into the series of lessons
o To understand how plagues have changed history and continue to impact the world today
