Assignment:
First Aid Skit
Divide
students into small groups (2-3 persons) and assign each group
a first aid topic. Topics to include are
• falls
• cuts/bleeding
• burns and scalds
• choking
• poisoning
• electric shock
• eye injuries
Students must research
to find accurate, reliable first aid information pertaining to
their topic. Based on their findings, they must develop a short
skit showing the accident and the administration of the appropriate
first aid. The skit shall include
• an introduction
to "set the stage" for the skit
• the accident resulting in injury
• the administration of appropriate first aid with important
information being presented either through narration or scripted
lines
The role play will
be presented to the class. Students in each group must be prepared
to answer questions regarding their first aid topic following
the presentation of the skit.
Additionally, the group must create three to five questions, with
answers, about the first aid principles they have researched.
Questions from all of the groups may be used for a review assignment
for the whole class.
Evaluation:
inclusion of required elements, completeness and accuracy of skit
content, ability to correctly answer questions, and the quality
of the review questions and answers should be the focus of the
evaluation.
