Procedure: Review the story of Jacob focusing especially on Jacob’s hip that was damaged after wrestling. Teach/review words for body parts and other words that may be used during a visit to the doctor. Have students role play life in a busy doctor’s office. Students playing patients should each have a large number of body parts causing them problems. Have students rotate roles if time allows.
Additional Questions:
- What additional words might be used by a patient in the hospital?
Supplemental Activity: Have students repeat the activity, except this time the setting is a hospital. Encourage them to use the additional vocabulary words properly.
