Morley Regeneration Ideas

We have been investigating the problems facing Morley and what we could do to help redevelop the town. Above is a wall where you can post your regeneration ideas, but remember any regeneration plans must be sustainable. When you post your idea place it on the wall in a position that reflects if it is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. The best posts will include links to pictures and extra information. Click on the pink 'post a sticky' button to be taken to the site to add your own ideas.

Renaissance Medicine

Your first extended homework task this year is to produce something that summarises all the factors that influenced Renaissance medicine. It is entirely up to you what you produce, but it must be of quality. Perhaps you could produce a video such as the one above? Or maybe you could do it as a wall display? A newspaper article written at the end of the period which goes through all the major discoveries and what made them possible. You might even wish to produce a podcast interviewing all the significant individuals we have looked at, asking them what made it possible.

I welcome you working in pairs on this task but you must first come to me and propose your idea, I will decide if it requires two people.

The deadline is the first lesson back after half-term, and you will have one or two other bits of homework to complete alongside it so make sure you organise your time. No excuses when it comes to deadline day!

Opposition to Vaccination

Above is a cartoon produced by James Gillray in 1802 called opposition to vaccination. Look at the source and listen to the voice thread then try to answer the following question.

Does this source prove that the public thought vaccination was a stupid ideas when Jenner announced his scheme in 1802? (8 marks)

Although the wording is different, this is a usefulness question! It could easily be phrased as; 'how useful is this source in telling us about the public reaction to Jenner's smallpox vaccination in 1802'?

Remember to get the best marks first go through the source explaining what it does show (why people were fearful of it) and then use your own knowledge with supporting evidence to prove that some people were behind Jenner.

Post your answer in the comments of the blog post. I will post my model answer and your grades after the due date and remember just because you are writing on the Internet it does not mean you let your standards of written English drop!
