TOPIC LESSONS
Lesson 7 To begin today’s lesson, watch the 3rd video about the last stage of Mary Seacole’s life (of course you may watch them all if you wish): https://www.stedward.bham.sch.uk/mary-seacole-and-florence-nightingale/ Mary Seacole and her work can sometimes be overshadowed by Florence Nightingale. Often, people forget who she was and how she is different to Florence. Therefore today, I would like you to create a poster to teach other people about who Mary was. You can include information from the videos, the reading yesterday or your own knowledge. Your poster needs to tell people: Who Mary Seacole was What she did to help people Why she is a significant person Be creative! You can draw pictures, make it colourful and unique. It is your poster! There is a template attached, but feel free to use your own.
