My history teacher wants us to present our prokects with some interaction from the class, my topic is mesopotamian medicine,
So I was curious is there any ways any one could think of that maybe I could get the class involved? Any silly games or soemthing?
THANKS:)

Hi, Sodium!

Would you please share with us some of the things that you know about "mesopotamian medicine"? If we know about what you know, it will help us in being able to come up with good ideas for you.

Thanks!

Welll I know that everything we know today came from cuneiform tablets , which were then made into a book, and I know they used herbs and sometimes spells, and there were two types of doctors, an asu, and an ashipu,
The ashipu was in charge of things like determining which god caused that illness, he was like the diagnostic of the two, and he would attempt to sure the patient with charms and spellls.
The asu was like the herbal doctor of the two, and he made like casts and stuff .
It was thought that the wealthy would seek help form both of these people.

Hi again, Sodium!

How about setting up some role-playing between members of the class? Maybe one person could be the physician and the other could be the patient? You could give them the criteria that they would need to follow in order to do the role-playing.

The criteria to give them could be developed on this thread.

Thanks!
