Week 8 11/05/20-14/05/20

KLQ: Why is it important to fully understand information I have read when using it to inform my writing?

This week, on the 12th May we celebrate International Nurses Day!
I'd like you to research some famous and historic British Nurses and create a profile all about them. The most famous nurse you've probably heard of is Florence Nightingale, but this is your chance to discover some other wonderful contributors to modern nursing. Don't just tell me about them as a person but look at the period of time in which they worked. Can you make comparisons between nursing then and now? can you explain how they contributed to the advancement of nursing and how? is there anything in particular that you notice which is of interest to you?
