This is a script for a class assembly. It is suitable for performance by Upper key stage 2 to a Junior audience. It introduces Thomas Edison and the importance of perseverance as a key learning behaviour. It is meant to be funny and based upon reality shows which the children usually know well with characters Ant and Dec, and Marty McFly and Doc Brown from Back to the Future. I have suggested a song but this can be changed easily.
