The specific outcomes of this role play will of course depend on how you run it and the activities you incorporate with it. We provide some guidelines, but it's up to you to make this work effectively with your students. Focus more specifically on the text with one of these activities. The students walk in a circle, clockwise and slowly. The teacher stands outside the circle.
Students have to think of a phrase from the text .
Each student decides on a character from the text and when touched on the shoulder by the teacher, a student says something that their character would be thinking in the language of that character. Teacher facilitates the forming of a committee of the students that is relevant to the text, providing a context for it, eg. Students sit in the committee chairs as committee members, with that side of their badge facing out, unless it is their turn to be the interviewee, when they change chairs and switch their badges around. It is very important to maintain the rituals to sustain belief. The first character is introduced and committee members begin asking questions which will provide insight into that character.
