Letters from the Past - Industrial Individuals of Medicine
<p>Do your students mix up their Lister and their Simpson, their Pasteur and their Koch? Panic no more - here comes an exciting new resource which brings together a wealth of knowledge about the key individuals from the Industrial Period of Medicine.<br />
Namely the third time period in the Edexcel Medicine in Britain course (c.1700-c.1900)<br />
This wonderful resource can be used as a starting point, a homework or revision. It combines the two most important aspects of GCSE history; knowledge and analysis.<br />
As they read the letters the students will both gain knowledge on the changes and impacts these individuals had upon 18th and 19th century medicine. But, they will also engage in the debate as to who has had the biggest impact, what constitutes an impact, what makes a medical individual the most important.<br />
All good skills of analysis and debate that can help with those tricky 16 mark questions!<br />
Each couplet of letters are followed by ready to answer questions AND a series of bigger questions at the end.<br />
This is a ready to use resource!<br />
It is also the third in a series of Letters from the Past - please check out my other resources on Medieval Medicine and Renaissance Medicine. There’s even a free resource to check out called ‘Letters from the Trenches!’</p>
