Last week, students were introduced to the Doctor's Centre. Students had the opportunity to experiment for the first time with various types medical equipment and develop their oral language by putting to practice some technical language that was taught during the lesson introduction though role play. Students spent most of the lesson playing the roles of doctor and patient and thinking of new conditions and treatments. Today’s lesson will give students the opportunity to extend their thinking and language development further by recording the patient’s conditions and treatment on a symptoms pad and then recording the medical treatment needed on a prescription pad. Introduction: Discuss some role-play scenarios that students worked on in last week’s centres. Watch students role play from cbeebies Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_IvYAl8iIA Elmo Visits the Doctor Sesame Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNqPxBYJ4QE Elmo- Mr Noodle tries to use a stethoscope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDvTj5gj90M Discussion- Think, pair, share: Various possible conditions for each body part that patients can possibly suffer from. Record on a mind map. Teachers to model discussing who is going to be the doctor and patient (or use a stuffed animal patient). Teachers to role-play doctor and patient scenario. (Ensure to refer to equipment by the correct name, model the conversation between a doctor and patient etc.) Explicitly model how to stop after the patient has told you what they are suffering from and draw a picture of the afflicted area on the symptoms pad. E.g. broken leg. Then model how to continue assessing and treating the patient using technical language. To end the consultation teacher models how to record the treatment using drawing and words on the prescription pad. Model how to write a prescription of medicine or exercises for the patient to purchase at the pharmacy and take at home. Teachers to swap roles and model again. Discuss prompts with students: Can you pretend to be a doctor or a patient?
Explain to students that they are to: Have a turn to be the patient, have a turn to be the doctor, use the special ‘doctor’ words, record conditions on the symptom pads using picture and words, record treatments on the prescription pad using pictures and words. Explain that the rest of the students are going to work in the Construction centre, Bird centre or Story centre. Reflection: Students share their role plays with the class.
