Tara - "Like most Rhode Islanders, I spent a lot more time at home during 2020 than I usually do, and I chose to fill much of that time with reading. At the end of 2019 I had set a goal of reading fifty books in 2020, and I exceeded that way back in August! I had the opportunity to explore many topics relevant to our collective current experiences like technology addiction, love and acceptance, home education, racial injustice, depression and anxiety, gender inequality, climate change, and a pervasive and enduring love for Hamilton. I'm reading book number ninety-two now, Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation by Ruth Haley Barton, and I hope to reach 100 by the end of the year.

Moses Brown Upper School Humanities teacher Edward Henry tasked his 9th grade world history students to create an expressive piece comparing the student’s own experiences & perspectives of Covid-19 with what they learned about The Black Death in 1300s Europe & North Africa. Students generated a broad range of work connecting the historic pandemic to their own, lived experiences. Collectively and individually, the students knocked their teacher’s socks off. Presented here is a segment of the work, with student & guardian permission. All work generated during the fall semester of 2022. Creator Who created this item?

Title What would you title this item? The Black Death and Covid 19 Description What is it all about? A stop motion video comparing the Black Death to Covid-19 through a depiction of remote learning. In this stop motion animation, I attempt to encapsulate my view of the connections between the plague and COVID-19. In the beginning of the video, I show how the computer was my world during COVID because it felt like the world revolved around that one device. The computer proceeds to open and automatically go to zoom, as that was how everybody talked, and lived, and worked. Daily. The first face to pop up on the zoom screen is a woman dressed in clothes from the 1300’s, but wearing a mask from COVID. The second face on the zoom is a man dressed in clothes from 2022, but wearing a mask from the Black Death era. I think these two characters are important because they showcase how masks unify the plague and COVID, and are a bridge connecting the two illnesses. They show how masks are a common challenge: it was very uncomfortable to wear them during COVID, and it must have also been very uncomfortable for doctors to wear those bird masks during the plague. The third video screen to pop up is a person, half dressed in the clothes from the 1300’s and half dressed in the clothes from 2022. This person represents the many people who refused to believe that the Black death or COVID was going on and proceeded to live life normally. This person depicts someone who is burying their head in the sand, refusing to see or hear about anything that is happening in the world. The first two people are thinking about a doctor. Doctors were important figures in both the Black Death and COVID-19. They tried to help many people during the plague, and during COVID they served as an emblem of hope and security. One big difference between the Black Death and COVID is that during COVID we had medical knowledge and it took doctors and scientists a shorter amount of time to get an accurate understanding of the COVID virus. Granted, it did take us some time to learn everything, and the community of scientists initially told us not to wear masks. However, we eventually figured it out. In contrast, during the plague there wasn't as much research or general knowledge on how to treat or deal with such a serious and scary illness, and so it took a very long time to get a grip on the plague.

In these five essays, first year college students in Professor Martha Kuhlman's Writing Workshop 106 class at Bryant University reflect on their experiences under the COVID lockdown at the end of August, 2020. To help students think about how to represent this difficult time, we read “We can’t comprehend this much sorrow” by Teju Cole, which was published in the New York Times May 18, 2020. Cole writes eloquently about his perspective on the pandemic from Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he is a professor of Creative Writing at Harvard. He adopts a diary format, which you will note in these student essays as well, to meditate upon his connections to New York, Nigeria, Cambridge and the rest of the world as the pandemic numbers in New York State rise. The students responded to the prompt, “Reflect on your own experiences with the COVID quarantine. What was difficult, and what kept you going?” You will hear from a student who had an epiphany about her own personality, a musician whose musical was cancelled, a student who worked at a hardware store, a student from the Dominican Republic, and a student whose mother passed away from cancer. My heartfelt thanks to the students for sharing their personal insights with us. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
