Your homework is about Galen - the greatest doctor in the Roman Empire. You are going to collect information on his background, his medical discoveries and his impact on medicine.
Click here for the capture sheet where you should record your findings. (I gave these out on A3 paper in the lesson).
For information, either come to the history department and use a book or check out these links:
The radio program, In Our Time. This is the richest source of information, particularly as the experts on it have the most up-to-date interpretation of Galen and his work and impact on medicine. (Some of the parts of the sheet can only be answered from the program). This link will work on a computer but also you can use your phone / ipad to listen to it.
Alternatively here are some internet websites:
Wikipedia
History Learning Site:
Science Museum:
Finally, head up to the department and use a Medicine Through Time textbook if you need to.
