Role Play

I thought the role playing activity was very interesting because scenarios and questions were brought up that I have been curious about. However, it would have been nice to role play for a half hour and then have discussion about points that were brought up. I had some questions, but it was hard to ask them because we were acting for the duration of the class. I thought Dr. Knick and Dr. Langholz did a great job of bringing up issues that we would most likely be dealing with in the school(s) that we teach at. Dr. Knick was intimidating at first because he disagreed with many people's thoughts on the group and topic they were representing. However, this was what made this role playing beneficial to participate in because it was real life like. This activity made us think about real issues that teachers deal with every day.
