Writing Postcards About Your Journey: Note: Postcard (or letter) writing may have begun around this time, helped by the caring scribes of the monasteries along the pilgrimage routes.
Use the rubric in Materials.

After you have been traveling through each new country for a while, and before you die, think of a "postcard" you can write back to your home, talking about your journey. If you contracted plague or there are plague warnings, note these in the postcard. Use the information sheets for more information on the town you have chosen. After the game is over, send a postcard back to your home town telling about your journey, by turning it into the teacher (or sharing in a discussion).

If you die early on your journey, (or finish your journey plague free), you can start over again and make another journey, trying another starting location, or going back home the way you came. You should first write some notes about your first trip in your journal. Keep all your data, since we will be using it to look at where people contracted the plague or cholera.

~Bon Voyage!~
