Poster/Research Project: My Medical Bag (Due 2/10)
Your Mission: Supply herbal remedies to those in need when no trained medical professionals are available. You must be ready to grab your medical bag and travel deep into “the outback” at a moment’s notice. What diseases or problems do you think will most likely be the ones you’ll need to treat until a doctor or nurse practitioner can be seen? Which herbs will you use? What forms of the herbs will you use? In order to be ready for the first emergency, you need to plan and pack!
Task for Herbal Support Team 23
Survey the information on
herbs and herbal remedies using mrsmacadam.com, then complete the worksheet,
Herbs & Cures.
|
à You will need to “pack your bag” with at least 6 herbal cures. à This requires the listing of at least 6 diseases and a careful description of the herb and the way that herb is used to “cure” that specific disease. Use the Language of the Discipline (poultice, tincture, salve, etc.) Directions for presenting this information on the poster:
à
You will complete the survey and the worksheet.
à
You will use the poster paper supplied to you by the teacher.
à
You will create a graphic image of a doctor’s bag showing what
is packed inside.
à
You will print a title
at the top of the poster (My Medical Bag of Herbal Treatments). à The graphic will be neatly drawn, outlined (in black) and colored.
à
You will PRINT!
à
You will use “bullets” to list the diseases and then describe
the cures to the right (or directly beneath) the bullets. You should also
list (and describe) what you think the most effective remedies are. In other
words, the “best cure” will be listed first.
Be prepared to defend your
choices.
à
You will assess your work and attach the completed rubric to
your poster when you turn it in.
à
You will turn your work in on time. à You will take the responsibility for asking any questions or requesting additional help as early as possible.
