3. Make sure each student still has an Observer Checklist (Form
4.4). Instruct students to alternate within the group, reading the
script and playing in the unscripted role. After a student reads the
script, that student takes the unscripted role. Make sure each student
has the chance to participate in both the scripted and the
unscripted roles and to provide observer comments. The observer
is the person who is next in order to read the script.
If the groups do not have equal numbers of boys and girls, then
have them assume the other role so everyone has the opportunity
to participate in both roles. If there is time to go around a second
time, the script readers can repeat the script or choose to ad-lib
and make up their own lines.
NOTE TO
THE TEACHER
It is important to help groups "get going"
with the role plays. It may be necessary
for the teacher to designate who in each
group will start the scripted and unscripted
roles. Walk around and guide the roleplay
process.

4. When groups are finished, have students return to the full group
and discuss the experience. Explain that their comfort working
like this in small groups will increase each day as the process is
repeated throughout the unit.
