The Black Death
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZy6XilXDZQ
I chose this video because it explains perfectly how the black plague started, how it spread throughout Europe, it´s symptoms, and overall everything that happened during and after the plague. How the peasants were the ones that were affected the most by the plague and it killed a lot of them and how they demanded more money from the lords in order for them to work. And it is also a very catchy song, kind of like the one about Constantinople.

Magna Carta Assignment
Magna Carta is an ancient document that limits the power to the monarch in charge. This was one of the things that led to current day democracy. Currently there are 4 original copies left and are stored in Lincoln. In 2015 we celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta being signed. This was a very important event in the history of man kind and it is a date that we need to commemorate. There are a lot of things being prepared for when the time of the anniversary comes.
There are many things that are going to be renovated to commemorate the signing of Magna Carta. For example the renovation of the American Bar Association (ABA) Memorial. Establish a Magna Carta interpretation/visit center. New bus routes as well as the improvement of traffic signs and streets. The UK will also make a public holiday on that day, as well as other political meetings will be held to commemorate the day.
Many songs of when the Magna Carta was signed will be played at churches near the site and around the UK to remember. Many souvenirs like stamps, pins, etc. will be distributed around the UK as well as coins and special beers. There will be Magna Carta weeks in important sites of the UK, the commonwealth and any other country in which the Magna Carta had an influence. Exhibitions of the Magna Carta will be displayed at important sites. Books and songs will be written in memory of this glorious day. The Magna Carta signing was a very important event in history and we all need to take moment to commemorate it.

Monarchy assignment
My favorite Monarch
My favorite monarch is Louis the XVI.
He was king of France from 1774 until 1791 he was 19 when he ascended to the throne.
His wife was Marie Antoinette. She was executed.
He was known as the great king and the sun king.
This did not mean that he was a good king.
He was called the sun king because of all his luxuries. He knew how to live in style.
He lived in the Great palace of Versailles.
Kings from all over the world went and honored Louis luxuries and style.
He was executed in the French revolution because the people had nothing to eat and nowhere to live and he lived in the Greatest palace of all times.
He is my favorite monarch because he knew how to live well and with style.
