open up a text or Word document. Write at least 3 paragraphs about what happened in 1918 and discuss similarities what’s happening right now with coronavirus/COVID-19 and how we’ve seen some of this before in 1918. Consider too what you have learned about race, class, and gender in this course. How have issues of race/gender/class been impacted by COVID-19 and how were they impacted in the past with the “Spanish flu?” What kinds of measures did they take then and are we taking similar measures now? Make sure you use the evidence in the readings and film – refer to it specifically, and use quotes. Put the title of the source and page number if applicable. You may also want to consult your textbook and past readings so that you can include as much historical context as possible.
