Frog in your throat you find out that Medieval physicians believed that the secretions of a frog could cure a cough if they were coated on the throat of the patient. The frog was placed in the mouth of the sufferer and remained there until the physician decided that the treatment was complete.

I now want you to do some research on Medieval medicine. You need to visit 5 websites and come up with up to 15 points on Medieval Medicine. Some of those points will become the body of your Prezi.
Each Prezi needs to have images, points and citations(URL's)

Timeline for this project is 4 classes.

Percent Problems ala Common Craft

This is a Common Craft Video

I want you to make a video using the paper cutout format. You will use a math problem to demonstrate your knowledge.

Here are the three math problems:

1. There are 36 painters on a crew. On a certain day 29 were present. What percent showed up for work? (Round to the nearest tenth)

2. A student answered 86 problems on a test correctly and received a grade 98%. How many problems were on the test, if all the problems were worth the same number of points? (Round to the nearest whole number)

3. A store has a sale on shirts. They are offereing a 20% discount. The origonal price of the shirt is $18. What is the sale price? What is the total price including taxes (5% GST 8% PST)
