Causes and Spread of the Black Death

In this GCSE worksheet, students will learn about the causes and spread of the Black Death, a devastating pandemic that swept across Europe in the 14th century. The worksheet starts with a 200 word text that describes the disease, its causes, and how it spread. Students will then answer 5 reading comprehension questions based on the text, followed by a key word/definition matching activity. Finally, students will summarise the text in their own words in a writing activity.
