Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Many parts of this book will be good excerpts for other units (e.g., Westward Expansion, war). Students may want to write about or discuss: a) the role of "accidents" in medical discoveries, or b) the role of women and minorities in medicine over the years. Specific issues such as hygiene or the development of medical training might also prove interesting for focus. Learners may wish to keep a chart as they read (perhaps by centuries): discovery, use, impact on public health. | |||||||||
