Why you will never catch smallpox
This collection provides a cross-curricular learning package which supports learning about the work of Dr Edward Jenner on developing a vaccine for Smallpox. All activities are based around a short film, which highlights Jenner’s work from the viewpoint of a child living at the time in which he worked on the vaccine. Activities are:
Strength of Character- write stories or scripts based on the James film.
The great vaccine debate- role-play the Parliamentary debate about vaccination that took place in 1802.
Making movies- Create a final scene for the James film using scientific and historical understanding.
