To speak to or go near the sick brought infection and a common death to the living; and moreover, to touch the clothes or anything else the sick had touched or worn gave the disease to the person touching”. - Giovanni Goccaccio “Dead bodies filled every corner.

Notes de l'éditeur
- This will tie the subject of the Black Death to the students lives. Allow discussion to flow to the concept of quarantine and how the disease is transmitted.
- Many believed that they contracted the disease due to God’s wrath and anger toward them. People would flee the areas that started to show signs of the disease, not knowing they were carrying it with them to the next town they visited, thus adding to the growth and of the disease throughout Europe and Asia.
- Doctor’s masks were designed this way to protect them from the smell of rotting flesh and disease. In the “beak” of the mask, doctors would placed herbs so that they would not smell the stench of the city and the sick people they treated. The long staff was used so that doctors did not have to actually touch the patients. They are covered from head to toe so as to not contract the disease.
- Find a recording of Ring Around the Rosie and play it for the kids!
- The video is in two parts. Each is approximately 13 minutes in length. The viewer’s guide is very detailed. I recommend previewing and eliminating any questions you don’t feel are necessary. I viewed several videos before I found one that was not too graphic. The best video was Mankind: The Story of All of Us 5 ½” It is very informative and concise, but terribly graphic. I recommend the teacher view it to get a better background and understanding of the ramifications of the Black Death. The video begins with a section on Genghis Khan and how his empire laid the groundwork for the spread of the plague.
- This song summarizes the Black Death and its consequences. (I don’t think the “Social Studs” need to give up their day jobs, but the song is catchy and hits the main points of SPI 7:40.
