Plague research

The Plague and Medicine
by Fiona Macdonald
time pered-500-1500 in Europe


-Women where marred between 14 and 20.
-man where marred at the age or 18.

They lived...
-in dirty and stinky houses
-rats, fly's, flees, lice and mice lived in your house
-you would dump your garbage(toilet waste, food waste) outside your window
-you do not have windows
-you do not bath often.

The Black Death...
-from 1346-1353 the Plague was in Europe
-it was spread by fleas who bit rats who had the plague. so then the fleas would bite humans and pass it to them
-the people would get a fever and headache in a few hours, and then they would get blotchy spots. the spots were black and were called "buboes". the buboes were big and bumpy, like pimples but much bigger and very painful
-then the humans would die in 4 days
-if you had 10 people in your family probably 2 would survive
- the doctors thought cold foods were safer to eat  (cucumbers) that heating foods (garlic), they said to burn sweet smelling foods to ward off the bad air, and to stay indoors when the south wind blew, avoid baths as well

What makes a good teacher?

here are a few ideas that me and my mom came up with:

• The teacher shares what he or she loves to do with the students so they can experience it to. some of the things my teachers have shared are: writing poetry, doing art, playing music, dancing .
• A good teacher sometimes lets the kids choose the activities ( example: in gym, Shauna let us make the fit rotations. Not only did she allow them to chose the activities, they evaluated it as a group afterwards... asking 'what worked well and what didn't")
• Getting down to the kids level
• squat to talk
• sitting on chair
• Being creative, showing the students different ways to learn.
• A good teacher is very organized (uses whiteboard, computer, label books & bins, book apartments)
• He or she will switch up the classroom for a change. If something doesn't work the teacher shouldn't be afraid to change it:
• make different seating plans so everybody can have a chance to sit with somebody different
• change the layout of the room (carpet, bookshelves, etc.)
• Be supportive and encouraging especially when the kid is having trouble, don't let the kid give up.
