Creative Writing - Social Studies

For social studies we have to write a creative writing about black death. This creative writing is about being a plague doctor back then and the things that you are doing everyday if you are a plague doctor. While doing this creative writing I realise that being a plague doctor is not an easy job at all because it's quite dangerous even though you have a lot of equipment and gear that will protect you to the disease that doesn't mean that you are always safe because you are helping a lot of infected people everyday. Anyways this is my work a I hope you will like it and enjoy reading it. I will also put some photos.

           

Here I am walking to go to the other patient, having a lot of emotions. What if they can’t survive? What if I can’t help them? A lot of questions are coming through my mind. Being a doctor and trying to save the life of many people that are already infected with this disease is not easy at all. All of us are not sure if they can survive or not, but me? I am doing all that I can to help them because that’s my job. I’m lost in my thoughts and I didn’t notice that I am already in front of the house of my patient. “ Come in,” the lady said, walking towards the room of the patient. I can see the sadness, nervousness in the lady’s eyes. Before going inside I turned around to the lady and said “ Don’t worry I will do my best to help your husband” feeling a little bit better when I saw her smile at me. 

I start to ready my equipment  and I see the lady and her husband talking while smiling to each other. That scene made me more nervous because if I can't help him it’s like I also took the lady’s happiness but shook the thought and started to walk towards them to do my job. While doing my work I can hear the sobs that are coming from the lady while the patient is groaning in pain. After a while I am done to do my job and told the patient to sit close to the fire because it will help to cure your fever. After a few minutes I decided to leave to go to the other patients house. I was about to step out in the house but stopped and look back and saw the lady helping her husband to lay on the bed to get some rest. I smiled to myself because I helped him and turned around and started to walk to go to the other patient. I am not feeling nervous too much because I know that I can help them because this is my job.

Plague Doctor's Gear And Equipment

For social studies I've learnt the cures and the causes of the plague. After I finished that task and post it to my blog I start to do the other task that I need to work on. This lesson is about the equipment and the purpose of it. Plague doctors are really important back then because they helping a lot and they have a lot equipment that they can use to heal the patients. For our activity about this topic we need to make a poster, we can use make it online and we can also draw, I decided to do it online since it's more easier. This is were I get my ideas for my poster.

                                                           This is my work:

Causes and cure of black death

Today I did a new work for social studies and the topic is also about black death. This topic is about what is the causes of black death and some ways that saying how to cure someone that has the disease. I've learnt so much things about this topic since I'm not really familiar about black death. We also have to make a mind map showing the cause of black death and presentation showing the cures for this disease. I used a google drawing for my mind map and I used Piktochart for the infographic about the cures.

This is where I get my ideas for my mind map:

This is my work:

                            

While doing this infographic I though that we are really luck because we using some medicines that we can help us to feel better. The medicine that we are using right now is have a big difference compare to their medicines. This is the presentation that I did.

Social Studies

Today I've learnt another topic about black death, the topic for this task is the symptoms of the Black Death. I use the example that my teacher gave to us to make my own one. I also copied that details from it and I used "Piktochart" to make my own poster. There is 5 symptoms in my poster and each one of them is giving u some information how this disease can affect to our body and how our body react o different symptoms.

                                                          This is the one I made

 

How Rats and Fleas Spread the Black Death

Today, I've learnt how the black death spread easily and how it easily passed on from one person to one another. We all know that the people back then has a poor hygiene but that's not only the reason why the black death spread to so many people, rats and fleas is also one of the reason. It is better if we know something about the things that happen back then so we can have a information and it is better that we know somethings that we should do at the times like this.

Rats is general	Black Rats	Brown Rats	Fleas
The rats is very infectious. Their wait can be up to 430 grams. They are eating almost anything that is edible. Black rats and the brown rats are to most common rats. They are heavy breeders.	Weight about 200 grams. They also called as roof rat and climbing rats. Rattus, Rodent	They can live for a months without food. They also called sewer or wharf rats. You can us a poison, gas traps to kill them.	They can jump 30,000 times without stopping. They are less infectious. Feed on the blood of a host.

This is the diagram that make.

                                

Explanation - They can easily pass it to each other since the hygiene back then is really poor and there is a lot of rats everywhere. The rats is carrying the bacteria and once the flea bite the rat the bacteria will start to multiply on the flea and if the flea bites the human the bacteria will start to grow on the humans body and they will start to have some symptoms like coughing blood, and if the infected human pass it to you there is a possibility that you can due by the end of the week. 

How the Black Death went fro Asia to Europe?

Today I finished another task from our social studies, this task is all about black death because this is our topic of this term. We are still working at home and there are still no classes. For this task we need to make a cartoon strip about how the disease spread from Asia to Europe.

For these tasks I've learnt some facts about Black Death and how this disease spread from Asia to Europe. For me I think the disease is easy to spread because the people back have very poor hygiene and we all know that proper hygiene is really important. They can't do a lot of things that we can do right now even bathing. We are all lucky because we can take a shower every time we want but they can't do it even 2 times a month. So we should be thankful and take care of our body to avoid any disease and stay healthy.

This is the cartoon strip that we have to copy.

This is my work.

We also have to make a poster about different ways of hygiene before. We can use a paper or on an online site called canva. Like I said they have poor hygiene. We just need to choose one topic and I decided to choose this;
