The nursery rhyme, "Ring Around the Rosie" is said to have its origins with the Black Death. A "rosy" rash would appear as a symptom, then people carried posies, a type of herb as protection to ward off the smell of the disease. Sneezing, coughing, and wheezing until "one falls down" was the final stage before death. You also listened to the “Black Death Hollaback Girl” song parody, describing the causes, symptoms, and effects of the Black Death. To demonstrate what you have learned about the Black Death, write your own poem, song, or nursery rhyme about the Black Death!
