The doctor is in

Today, my ninth form again knocked my socks off with their imaginative selves. Their assignment: "Doctor Dialogues." Annnnnd guess who happened to have their camera to catch the creativity in action? Here's what they came up with!

These "schoolgirls" were plotting how they could ditch school. The solution? A faked toothache and a rattling chest...that piece of cellophane was used to make some bronchitis happen when the doctor examined her.














They brought in all their own props, including doctor's coats, stethiscopes, tongue depressors, fake thermometers, tablets, actual x-rayed appendages, bandages...should I go on or continue to let the pictures tell the stories?









These boys brought in an actual X-ray from some wrist injury. It was awesome! (Oh, and feel free to ignore the misspelled "stethoscope"...)












"Doctors" wrote out prescriptions, patients argued about the price. It was hilarious!










If ever we had this kind of injury or sickness rate...we'd be quarantined for sure.












Good actors!!!













So basically, these kids rock. I'm so glad to work with them!!!
