Black Death: A Visit with Simon, A Victim of the Black Death(script)

By Gail Hennessey

Use this informative Reader's Theater Script to learn about the Black Death, a disease that killed almost 1/2 the population of Europe in its worst outbreak(1347-1351). The fun/informative play uses the format of Simon, a victim of the Black Death, being a guest on Ms. Bie Ografee's talk show and the studio audience asks questions about his experiences during the time(the medical beliefs, the causes, the effects the Black Death had on Europe, etc.

Great for a unit of study on the Middle Ages! Could be used in a science unit on bacteria and contagious diseases. Comprehension questions/extension activities, key.

Check out my other resources: Other plays in the Ms. Bie Ografee’s Talk Show Series: Revolutionary War Female Spy, Visit with a Tory during the American Revolution, Constitution(A Visit with James Madison, "Father of the Constitution", Charles Dickens, Johnny Appleseed,Vikings(A Visit with Leif Ericsson and his dad, Erik the Red), Elizabeth Blackwell, Jacques Cousteau, Marian Anderson,Visit with a Leprechaun, California Gold Rush 49er,Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Sacagawea, Sequoia, Michelangelo, DaVinci, Tuskegee Airmen, Susan B. Anthony and many more.

Once all the boxes are filled, a "secret message" about the Middle Ages is revealed! The teacher page includes additional information to share about the "secret message".
