Your Topic

• The topic for your fact sheet should be something related to health/healthcare in ancient Western civilizations.
• Select a topic that interests you AND relates to the course content, time periods, and geographic areas covered in this course (e.g., The Black Plague). Some health-related topics include:
• Medicine in Sparta
• Ancient Greek Sanitation
• Healing Temples of Asclepius
• Select something which interests you personally and which you would like to help others learn as well.
• For example, you may choose to research and discuss a new health/healthcare practice from one of the time periods and civilizations covered in class OR select a topic touched upon in the course and conduct further in-depth research.
• Take a look at the table of contents in Brooks (2019) for guidance on the topics and time periods we are covering in this course.

Expectations:

• Spelling, punctuation, and grammar matter and will be considered in grading your work.
• Do not use Wikipedia as a resource.
• A complete citation reference page will be due with your final submission in Week 15 – track your sources as you complete each step of this assignment. Any images you use must also have citations cited. Citations will be listed in a separate reference page and will not take up space on the Fact Sheet itself.
• Your cited research must be scholarly, credible, recent, and relevant.
