Marionettes

Role-playing

- It is an unrehearsed, unprepared and spontaneous dramatization of a “let’s pretend” situation where assigned participants are absorbed by their own roles in the situation described by the teachers.

How is role-playing done?

   It can be done by describing a situation which would create different viewpoints on an issue then asking the students to play the roles of the individuals involved.

Advantages of Role-playing

Energizing activity / fun to do  Allows participants to contribute actively (even the

quieter ones)  It is time efficient  Experiential learning is more powerful than

instructions.  It delivers complex concepts in a simple manner  Needs little preparation for the teacher/facilitator.

Disadvantages of Role-playing

Participants may be too shy and reluctant. Can be threatening to some. It can become ‘too much fun’ and disrupt the task.  Participants can get too involved and loose

objectivity. Participants can overact and show off the observers

may not observe well or take notes.  The observers may take ‘sides’ based on their

preconceptions.
