*All "busy-work" and commenting in the classroom is optional in this class. Week 1: During the first week of class, learners cover the history of how these herbs were once used in medicine.

I have taught four other classes on Outschool which discuss this subject in detail. I take this class from a historical and botanical perspective, describing how herbs were used in history, as well as biomes/weather that these plants are located in.

Paper and pencils and/or other drawing devices will be useful at some points during class.
The Warriors series by Erin Hunter contains death and violence. The herbs described in this class are used in relation to this violence. Warriors is a series directed at 8-12 year olds. Parents are best aware if Warriors is suitable or not for their children.
Warriors by Erin Hunter is used for inspiration. Just like one of the Erin Hunters, I feel it suitable to mention that many of these herbs are taken from Culpeper's Herbal Remedies by Nicolas Culpeper. This is used as historical reference.
