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 did you do on March break ?

What did you do on March break? Did you do nothing? Did you go outside? What did you do? Tell me in a comment please and thank you.

I really did nothing but 1 of my friends came over to my house to work on a project for school and then I went over to her house.

I also went to the art gallery with my cousin and aunt. We went into a room FULL of black balloons and it was very claustrophobic for me, I felt like I couldn't breathe well and I was too squished into a small space and that I wouldn't find my way out. I felt like I was going to die, but we found the door out. Martin Creed is the artist.

I went swimming twice, once at Plant Bath and once at Dovercourt, but not at the same time though.

We went to see the movie "Oz, the Great and Powerful". It was OK, not my #1 favourite movie, I don't know if I could recommend it, but it was still a OK movie. I went with my mom, sister, dad and aunt. My aunt is going to have a baby, but I don't know when. She wants to have the baby now, she's been carrying him for a long time.

We went to the library and I found a book called "The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom" . You can see more about the book at this link: http://officialherosguide.com/. I recommend this book to people who enjoy a mix of fairy tales. It is sort of confusing, but it is awesome. There are 4 Prince Charmings and this book tells their stories and then it collides into one story about them saving a princess who has already saved herself. You must read it.

I also went to Chapters and bought a graphic novel called "Cat's Cradle - Book 1 - The Golden Twine". I recommend it. It is about a girl who wants to be a monster trainer and she lives in a circus...you should get this book to find out more! The author is from Ottawa! http://www.jorioux.com/catscradle.html

Personally I feel I didn't do anything on my March break, but maybe I did!

The Land Of Stories

Hello! If you are looking for a new book I suggest "The Land of Stories the Wishing Spell". It is a great story about 2 kids that go into the book "The Land of Stories" and meet all the fairy tales mixed together! The author is Chris Colfer (you might recognise him from glee). So that is all I will tell you, if you want to learn more get the book or look it up.
