Why you will never catch smallpox: making movies

This resource supports learning in literacy and drama and science, all based around the life of Edward Jenner. After watching a short film, children discuss some of the main differences between plays and films, beginning to think in terms of cinematic storytelling. They use their scientific and historical understanding to write a new final scene for the JAMES film. This provides teachers with an opportunity to revise key learning and assess children’s understanding. They then explore production design, costume design, cinematography and editing and apply their new skills to film their scripts in groups.
