Role plays with set out characters.
Theses are a series of role-plays which include you the teacher to interact with the students. They're intended to be used as a warm up in the first period of the class time so you can know which students are good or not.
How to do this: each student has a set out character and so do you. For instance if a student has a character who is always crying then he/she has act that way.
Each role-play has ten scenarios and four characters; three students and you in each one. So about 30 students are the maximum and if you have a few extra students then you make some characters twins.
What is this project's purpose?
To test their ability in listening, thinking and responding with improvisation. The students can prepare a little bit but don't know what you are going to do or say. Class discussions some students may remain silent so using this projects allow you to get them speaking.
This project can be used as an introduction. You write the task on the board and randomly pick a student.
This is a project to make students work quickly. No time to prepare as in real life there are surprises.
This project is where you are the obnoxious complaining customer. Students have to learn to deal with you.
