This writing assignment contains 3 sets of documents (on health care, infectious diseases and official responses, and disease during times of war) on Ottoman medicine and health challenges. A variety of writing prompts are also included. 

This lesson includes epic poetry of the 1389 Battle of Kosovo (between Balkan forces - under the Serbs - and the armies of the Ottoman Empire). From there, students examine the way the battle was (re)interpreted in history and the profound 20th century impact of the Kosovo literature. The lesson also includes different background materials and two types of writing prompts.
