How the Black death travelled to Asia from Europe - Social Studies

Here are another one of my social studies tasks, it is getting quite boring while doing nothing as we are still in level 4 lockdown. But I am so happy that next week we will transitioning into level 3 lockdown by next week. 

For this activity, I had to copy a cartoon strip by drawing it regarding how black traveled from Asia to Europe. 
The reason why the Black Death was spread so easily and was created, because back then everyone had poor hygiene. They rarely had baths and washed hands, the same went with washing clothes event if the rarely washed their clothes. It would still be disgusting and unhygienic because they would use urine to wash their clothes. Since people had toilets or rubbish bin they would just dispose of all their rubbish and human waste on the street.
Because of all these germs due to them not being hygienic, it had caused lots of people to be sick and also diseases to occur such as the "Black Death". 

We are very lucky for these smart people to come up with inventions to keep us hygienic, and having less of a chance of getting sick because of germs. We have hospitals and modern medicine, like immunizations and vaccines which prevent us from some diseases. 

Here is the strip we had to recreate:

Heres mine -


If you couldn't see the words in the first photo here it is what it says.
It is also the sequence of the event:

1. Traders in Crimea have been besieged for three years by Tartar hordes, from Central Asia. 

2. The Black Death breaks out among the Tartars.

3. The Tartars use their siege machines to fling their deads inside the walls of the fort.

4. The disease spreads to the people inside the fort.

5. The Tartars flee.

6. The survivors from inside the fort set sail to Europe bringing the disease with them.
