For each circle that’s a cause, write the letter “C” next to it. For consequences/effects, write the letter “E” next to those circles. (Hint: If you’re not sure, look back at your filled-out Causation Tool!)3.Now,fill in the empty cause and effect circles using the information from your tool. If you can, add even more effects by creatingnew effect circles.

The acronym ADEcan help you determine if historical events or processes—in this case the causes and consequences of the Black Death—were significant.•Amount—Think about how manypeople were impactedby the cause/effect.•Depth—Think about how stronglypeople were impactedby the cause/effect.•Endurance—Think about how longthis cause/effect impacted people.Review your tool and/or map and pick one cause and one effect that you think are the most historically significant(useADEto help you). •What do you think is the most historically significant cause? Explain your response.•What do you think is the most historically significant consequence? Explain your response.
