18. The Spread of the Disease * The disease started in Central Asia. * European merchants became infected and brought it back on merchant ships. * It made its way toward southern Europe through the Black Sea. * As many as one third of all Europeans - about 25 million people - died. (1347 - 1352). (California's current population is 37 million. It would have killed nearly everyone in California).

24. Use textbook pages 455 - 459 to complete your worksheet:

30. The Bubonic Plague Video: After the video be prepared to answer these questions: 1) What was the major cause of the plague? 2) Where had the plague occurred before? 3) What happened to victims within hours of catching the 
disease? 4) How did the plague move across the continent of Europe? 5) What were the two ways the plague ended?

31. HOMEWORK: Read Kings, Nobles and the Magna Carta (pages 417 - 421) and complete the reading guide.

32. Flip over your worksheet: Quick Write: Choose three of these questions to answer

40. Using the notes in your journal and the information in your
