Mr Tomlinson’s Group (10H) Florence Nightingale newspaper task

You are a reporter for ‘The Daily News’ newspaper and are reporting from the Crimea.

 

You should be working on your 2 detailed paragraphs for your main newspaper story.  Please feel free to submit your drafts here on the blog and I can help you by making comments.

 

This task should be completed by next Thursday (4 December).  I will hand out the templates in next Wednesday’s lesson (3 December) for you to do in neat.

 

REMEMBER you also need to include a secondary story which links in with the main story.

 

Info below:

 

Create a newspaper front page using the A3 template provided. 

 

You must include:

 

·     A price

·     The date

·     Other information (use your imagination)

·     MOST IMPORTANTLY Two detailed paragraphs (The Crimean War, the poor conditions, the work of a nurse called Florence Nightingale, why and how Florence Nightingale is improving conditions, what significance this could have for medicine in the future…etc)

·     A brief secondary news story of two or three sentences about another development in medicine.  This story should link in with your main story.  Hint: germs (Pasteur/Koch) or antiseptics (Simpson)

Think about this:

·     What is Florence Nightingale’s background? Does it have any influence on her decision to become a nurse and go to The Crimean War?

·     What is the impact, importance and significance of Florence Nightingale’s work?

·     The development of the nursing profession met with opposition – why?  How might she overcome this opposition?

·      What could Florence Nightingale’s legacy be to future generations?

 

REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE WRITING AS IF YOU WERE THE REPORTER AT THE TIME….

 

Good luck.  I’m expecting some really good work!

Yr 12 Reading Log W/C 03/11/08

Right I KNOW that you know what to do and how to do it!

So, read about US Foreign Policy 1890-1917 or US entry into WW1.  If you cant find anything yourself, choose US History off the Blogroll and read any (or all!) of Chapter 44 or Chapter 45 and 45a.  Remember to take notes and check on whatever you are unsure of, this is the best way of making sure your reading time is not wasted.
