Social Studies Renaissance Script

Reporter: Hi I’m Chris Hanson, and I’m standing in front of the first time machine ever built here in Kuala Lumpur. We have gotten permission to be the first to use it. We will be traveling back to the time of the Renaissance to have an interview with Martin Luther a great renaissance figure who stopped the church from abusing it’s powers. I am stepping into the machine itself. The seats are very comfortable, there’s even a flat screen T.V., and look there a number pad. I am seated now the conductor has to key in the time period which is 1520 he’s doing that now WOAH! Sorry folks the door just closed gave me a fright. Alright, we are all seated the T.V. just switch on oh and look there’s the Prime Minister.

Doc: Well Chris, I have already entered the date and all I have to do now is press this green button. To get back you just have to press this red button on this watch, and you will be back within 30 seconds. Any last words?

Reporter: Okay here I go wait I got a question will i……WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....(Weird Noises)…..OMG I’m going to be sick y’all…. Wait a minute I see a light….. (Thump)….Ughhhhh….. BARF!!!... I’m here in front of a house I shall try to approach it with caution

Few minutes later

Reporter: (whispers) I am here inside a house where a man is writing some…. Wait a minute…. (Loudly) ITS MARTIN LUTHER!!.... (Whispers) Snap I said it to loud.

Martin: Who goes there?? How did u get past my dogs?

Reporter: That’s a long story, to make it short I think you’ll need some new dogs, but anyway I’m here to ask you some questions about the Renaissance, and your life.

Martin: Very interesting, alright you may ask me some questions

Reporter: What is the Renaissance?

Martin: The Renaissance is the rebirth of the middle ages which happened around the start of mid 1400s. The word Renaissance basically means rebirth.

Reporter: What is life like during the Renaissance?

Martin: Life during the Renaissance thrives as travel and exploration increases throughout the world. Europeans now enjoy Eastern and Asian spices such as pepper, nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon. Although this seemed pretty happy, the black plague is still around, and women are still restricted to do most things so life is also a bit depressing.

Reporter: What characteristics make the Renaissance unique?

Martin: I don’t have much to say except for Humanism, Art, Science, and Religion.

Reporter: I’m going to now ask you questions about your life.

Martin: Fire away!

Reporter: Wonderful. For starts what were you writing just now?

Martin : I am currently adding the final touch’s of my brand new master piece On the Freedom of a Christian, it is my 3rd piece.

Reporter: Oh my god! You are currently writing that!!

Martin: yes… why do you ask?

Reporter: nowadays that piece and 2 of your other written pieces are one of the most famous pieces ever written for the Reformation of church. You inaugurated the protestant reformation in 1517.

Martin: Mom! It really made that much of an impact.

Reporter: Nowadays you are famous for helping reforming the church!!...hrmm… So anyway tell us about yourself how was your childhood.

Martin: I was born to a normal class, son of Margaret and Hans Luther in Eisleben. I grew up and became remarkable student in law but I quit and did religion. After a time as a professor I wondered s it possible to reconcile the demands of God's law with human inability to live up to the law? I found things out on a book i stumbled upon in a library called the new testament book of the Romans where it said “God had, in the obedience of Jesus, reconciled humanity to Himself. What was required of mankind, therefore, was not strict adherence to law or the fulfillment of religious obligations, but a response of faith that accepted what God had done. Such faith would lead to an obedience based on love, not fear.” Then I confronted the church and I had my preaches and the rest is history.

Reporter: zzzzzz..zzzzz

Martin; Hey! Did you get all that?!?!

Reporter: Hummm Yaa. Oh and one last question. Are you proud of the work you’ve done? Do you think it will help others?

Martin: I certainly agree with that and at the age of 34 I think I can still help out more. Plus I’m extremely proud of my work.

Reporter: Thank you for your time Martin, I really appreciate it.

Reporter: Well there you have it folks straight from the man himself. Now that I’ve got the scoop im ready to go back to my time.. wait maybe just one more question.

Martin: MY DOGS!!!! WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO THEM?!?!?

Reporter: I better get going… WOAH!!!!!!.. (ThumP).. uh..(barf).. well at least I’m back that’s all the time we have I’m Chris Hansen.. (Barf) Good Night.
