Medicine in My Backyard
In the Medicine in My Backyard task, students will play the role of ethno-botanists to investigate medicinal plants in their communities and read poetry written more than 900 years ago that helps reveal the healing power of plants. Students will gain an awareness of the important purposes of medicinal plants by collecting stories from their communities on how humans have traditionally lived with plants. They will let the (local and global) communities know through several activities why medicinal plants are an essential part of life, so that the natural environments in which they exist must be sustained for the future. Students and their local communities will be able to use their medicinal plants as part of their nature preservation and heritage and will promote this through several activities with their respective communities (seed bank, cultivation, video).
