A short, light-hearted drama for Y10 students. It covers Jenner's vaccination experiments.

A set of eight humorous 'Emergency Situations' for primary drama students to act out and / or narrate. Developed as part of a unit based on World Radio Day, the cards were used by my Year 5/6 students as starters for group improvisation work. Students formed groups of three and read through their assigned card. They chose a radio reporter who narrated the improvised scene the other students created from the card's scenario. After sharing their scenes students shuffled cards and this time started with the radio reporter improvising the scene with the other students acting out the description.
There's lots of room for expansion, including making audio or video recording of the broadcasts, expanding the number of students in a scene or having students write new scenes for each other.
