Role-Play
Science:
students examine case studies revolving around a particular dilemma: carriers of
cystic fibrosis are considering having a baby; a person’s father has just been
diagnosed as having Huntington’s disease.
History:
Drama makes history come alive. Role-play a great way for students to develop
empathy and understanding for the challenges of living in another time period.
Students could enact a group of soldiers having a conversation in the trenches.
