2.Then work in groups of three with the following roles:
−Student 1: who has the problem
−Student 2: practices giving good advice
−Student 3: shows no care neither provides advice
Each group need to act out 3 different situations: After playing their respective roles, Student 1, 2 and 3 rotate and switch roles. In total, each group works with 3 different problems and produces 3 role plays.
- Out of the 3 role plays, each group chooses one of those and represents it to the rest of the class.
- Which role-play did you like the most? Why?
- What character did you like the most? Why?
- What character did you dislike the most? Why?
