My 7th grade students will be completing this reading and chart, I need to modify this for grade 1 reading level.

This learning resource explores the Black Death, a historical event that significantly impacted lives in the past. It outlines how the sickness spread rapidly through communities and the profound changes it brought to daily life, work, and social structures. Students will engage with the material by using a word bank to complete sentences about the effects of the Black Death, drawing before and after scenarios of town life, and considering the cause-and-effect relationship between the sickness and the resultant changes in society. The resource aims to enhance understanding of historical context and resilience in the face of change, fostering critical thinking about the implications of such events in history.
