Go through the prompts for the doctor centre.
Explain to students that we have different roles in the doctor centre depending on whether you are a patient or a doctor. If you are a patient, you need to tell the doctor how you are feeling. Students TPS some things they would feel (symptoms) when going to the doctors. If they are a doctor they need to find out what is wrong with the patient by asking questions, writing down how they are feeling, check patient using special equipment and tell the patient what they need to do to feel better. Show the students the video of ‘I want to be a doctor’. This video shows the role of a doctor and the specific tools a doctor uses and what each instrument is used for. Students need constant repetition of the names of the doctor’s tools and how they are used correctly, for them to extend and better perfect their role of being a doctor through imaginative play and using these props appropriately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxdrEFz9Jsw When role playing students who visit the doctor can’t just say “I’m sick” they need to elaborate more on their reasons and symptoms e.g. ‘I feel hot and my body is shivering’, ‘My stomach hurts and I feel like vomiting.’ Students listen to the story, ‘Caillou visits the doctor’. Ask students to listen out for the reasons Caillou is visiting the doctor, as well as the treatments the doctor gives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZLtsys2M48 (Stop video at 9:40m) After the video discuss the reasons that Caillou went to visit the doctor. Pose the question: ‘Why did Caillou need to go visit the doctor?’ ‘What was he feeling?’. Brainstorm different reasons we may need to go and visit a doctor. Encourage students to extend their thinking beyond just stating, “I’m sick!” Encourage students to use these ideas in the role playing. Reflection: Were you a doctor or patient? If you were a patient, what were your symptoms? If you were a doctor, how did you treat your patient?
