Amazing Middle Ages: Task 15

📋 Project Steps:

1. Choose a Medieval Illness or Condition to research:

   • The Black Death (plague)

   • Bubonic Plague

   • The Dancing Plague of 1518

   • "Sweating Sickness"

   • Humors imbalance (too much blood, yellow bile, etc.)

   • Leprosy

   • Dysentery

   •  Malaria

   • Typhoid

   • Smallpox

   • St Anthony’s Fire

   • Toothache, broken bone, or other injuries and wounds

   • Scurvy

2. Create a “Patient Profile” Page:

   • Name, age, occupation

   • Symptoms they’re experiencing

   • How they got sick or injured (based on medieval knowledge)

   • Which medieval healer they’re visiting (monk, barber-surgeon, wise woman, etc.) *different classes would have received different medical assistance.

3. Diagnosis & Treatment Plan:

   • What the medieval healer believes is wrong (e.g., “an imbalance of the black bile”)

   • Suggested treatments (bloodletting, leeches, herbal remedies, prayers, charms, surgery, etc.)

   • Include some real (and bizarre!) treatments for fun

📦 Deliverable:

A creative patient file folder, poster, or journal page
