Social Studies

For the past few weeks In Social Studies we have been learning about a lot of things. One of the main things we learnt about is the Black Death. The Black Death is a plague that had killed many without being noticed for a while. It is one of the most deadliest pandemics in the world. After learning about the black death we were given the task to compare it with another plague or disease. I chose to do the antonine plague because it seemed interesting to me. I compared the death count to the black death, and of course the black death had more than the Antonine plague. Although it was interesting and scary to find out that later on 2000 people a day got infected it was good to know that it might never come back ever again. We then worked on mapping and then natural and man made disasters. I chose to look at hurricanes and Hurricane Galveston. It was interesting to learn about it because scientists still don't know what the disease was and what caused it, all they know is that it came from around Central Asia.
