A very straightforward research project booklet. As the newer courses tend to omit a study of Ancient Medicine this booklet can be used as a Year 9 / Holiday research task to help provide learners with some of the main points from the Ancient World. This should provide a firm basis upon which a study of Medicine in th Medieval World can be conducted. The booklet asks learners to consider factors, achievements and the things that impeded progress in Ancient Medicine.

Medieval Medicine. Active Learning 'Big Picture' exercise.

(1)
This is a tried and tested activity for classes of all abilities following a GCSE History course that includes a Medicine through time unit. It has previousl been used as both an introductory exercise (able groups) and as a revision exercise for mixed classes. It highlights the various types of beliefs and treatments available in the Medieval period whilst also showing that there was a class divide. The activity was designed to be completed in an hour long session in a large classroom. It works best with tables and chairs rearranged. This activity inspired some of the activities included in my work published by Hodder Murray.
