Here is the Prompt for your Final Paper: 

“The Bubonic Plague ravaged nearly the entire Afro-Eurasia world. In some areas, the plague hit hard while others remained relatively unscathed. Using your textbook only, how did the plague spread and which, if any, countries or groups of people were affected more than others? What part of the population was hit hardest by the plague and what role did religion and politics play in responding to the pandemic?”

Hint: think of globalization, travel, trade, the Silk Road, commerce, medicine, religion, politics, culture, economics, sanitation, and exchange (please do not use these hints as the foundation of your paper; use them only as hints in formulating your work). 

Remember this is an assignment that requires critical analysis of the text, not summary or excessive use of quotations.  Be sure to follow the paper requirements posted on Canvas. You have nearly month to complete this assignment and, because it is your final paper and due at the very end of the semester, please do not ask for an extension. Final grades must be submitted to the school administration shortly after the due date of your Final Paper.
