Week 10 - Day 2 - March 18, 2014

Today we talked about the difference in conventional and alternative medicine. We looked at vocabulary words that are associated with both. We used this worksheet to guide us.

We talked and the meaning of these 5 important words.

Symptom - a change which shows that something bad exists : a sign of something bad
Cause - something or someone that produces an effect, result, or condition : something or someone that makes something happen or exist
Treatment -  something that deals with a disease, injury, etc., in order to make someone feel better or become healthy again
Cure - something (such as a drug or medical treatment) that stops a disease and makes someone healthy again
Diagnosis - the act of identifying a disease, illness, or problem by examining someone or something

We used vocabulary to help define the words symptom and treatment practically. We then talked about verbs that are used in front of these vocabulary words.

We then talked about different types of alternative medicine using this worksheet. We listened to an audio about different doctors and the kinds of therapy they use.

Main Learning Point
