As I take the register:
one person has to mention a key person in medicine
The next person has to describe what they did to help medicine
As this lesson will go into 2, don’t worry with lots of don’t knows: the 2nd lesson is a revelation as they start to connect what they have learnt!

2. Task1: Read this information on Pasteur and how factors helped him in his discovery of the vaccine for Chicken Cholera
Annotate the information to explain your reasons:
Use 2 highlighters:
One colour for positive (relevant)
One colour for negative (irrelevant waffle)
Science and Technology – Louis Pasteur was born in France in Louis Pasteur was a French biologist, microbiologist and chemist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization. He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and prevention of diseases, and his discoveries have saved many lives ever since. Pasteur and his team conducted experiments, tested their findings and wrote down their conclusions to prove they were right. The invention of the microscope helped their work to find the vaccine for chicken cholera
Government and War – The French Government had fought Germany in a war in and lost. The war had cost both countries thousands of lives and it was a very sad for all those terrible injuries and deaths. Furthermore, the French Government needed Pasteur to find a cure for chicken cholera. 90% of chickens were infected by the disease. French poultry farmers were losing vast amounts of money. Also they were determined to win prestige for France which had lost land to Germany at the end of the Franco-Prussian war in
Individual Genius – In addition, Pasteur was a determined scientist. He soon isolated the chicken cholera germ, despite suffering a brain haemorrhage in 1868 which left him paralysed on one side. In 1859, Pasteur had lost daughter to typhoid – a disease caused by dirty food and water. In 1865, his second daughter died of the same disease. A third daughter died from a tumour in Family tragedy framed his fight against illness.
Communications- As a consequence, by publishing his discoveries, vaccines for typhoid, diphtheria and tetanus soon followed.
Print out a copy for the students to highlight from slide 4. The video link isn’t great but sets out the context for Louis Pasteur to discover the chicken cholera vaccine (play from 3.00 minutes onwards)
Watch out for waffle!

3. Task 1: Were individuals the main factor in the development of medicine since the Middle Ages?

6. Task 2: Take notes during the video
Edward Jenner
How did the factors of:
Individual brilliance
Chance
Science and Technology
help him in his contribution to medicine in the 18th Century
I love this video which I split into 3 to discuss the factors affecting his discovery: Click on the picture for the video to start – Florence Nightingale on Primary BBC History is also excellent if you wish to make a switch
Use SPED

7. USE SPED AND CLEVER CONNECTIVES
Task 3: Your turn
How did the factors of:
Government
Religion
help in the development of medicine since Medieval times
Key ideas:
Government: Public Health Reforms: Public Health Acts, Liberal Reforms, NHS, Development of Penicillin
Religion: Monastries and the Church, Islamic Medicine. But what progressed and regressed?
This time is for students to take ownership of their learning. Dependent on the ability of the class you can use slide 9 to guide who they need to research: I only allowed them to use their exercise books: Most set it out as follows using SPED:
People such as David Lloyd George
Liberals reaction to statistics which showed 40% of volunteers failed medical inspection for Boer war
Dates: They introduced social reforms from 1906
Evidence included free school meals, medical inspections, National Insurance and a Child protection Act

I get the students to tick the evidence and put the marks in the margin (in green or red pen) Please tell the students this markscheme is student friendly and is not set in stone, (especially as it will be marked by the teacher out of 20!) but roughly if they achieve over half marks (55-60%) then this might equate to a Grade 4 – which we believe is a pass?????
