Language Arts Program

Herbology 101: Apothecary Grand Opening

Herbology 101 is designed to teach students the legends, stories, and truths behind the major herbs found in the Harry Potter franchise!  J.K. Rowling had a wonderful imagination, but most of the herbs used in the series are at least based on real-life herbal cures and remedies, so we will discuss their role in the magical world, in our historical muggle world, and where/how they might be found/used today!

Areas of Focus | Students will get to:

• Gain knowledge of herbal salves and tinctures
• Understand the real-life mythology around witchcraft and herblore
• Create a salve of their own

Main Skills to be taught and practiced:

• Historical analysis
• Salve-making
• Pricing/Design

End-of-Week Project:  

Apothecary - students will put together the information needed to, using the herbs discussed throughout the week, create their own apothecary business!

Prerequisites for the students:

None - all will be provided by instructor!
