I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS

Teacher Instructions

Step 1. Before class prepare the transparency. Copy the situations on different colors by the 1a role, 1b role, 1c role, 1d role. Arrange the 4 different roles by numbers 1a,b,c,d, etc. Their roles will be 4 different colors per panel situation.

Step 2. Form students in panels of 4. Have a member of each group randomly select a situation packet of 4 and distribute the roles to each member.

While students act out their parts, the teacher can use the panel-scoring guide to grade them. This can be done in front of the teacher while the rest of the class is doing another task, perhaps a composition or a study group.
