DESCRIPTION:
"You Can't Do That" is an attempt to dramatize, through student role playing, the
conflicts that arise in the trades when nontraditional employees are part of the
workplace. Students will try to find logical, equitable solutions to these conflicts.
Students may use scenarios provided by instructor or create their own. Discussion
should follow each role-playing event.
***This lesson might work well after a discussion of the realities of nontraditional
workers in the trades. Also, the lessons "Guest Speaker" and "Tasks, Tools and
Gender" would work well as preceding activities.
***Shops might develop scenarios specific to their trade for reality. Tools from the
shop could be used as props. Techniques learned in shop could be part of the play.
