4. 1. Identiying the Problem
- decide exactly what you want the group to
learn from the episode.
2. Establishing the Situation for Role Playing
- design the situation to fit the objectives they
want to achieve.
3. Establishing Roles and Selecting Participants
- sketch out clearly the type of people involved.

5. 4. Presenting the Act
- Talk about the objective of the role playing
during the presentation and explain the skills
and insights the activity hopes to acquire.
5. Playing the Situation
- the playthrough and is supposed to be the
most difficult step.

6. 6. Analyzing and Evaluating the Presentation
Requirements in the Analysis:
a. What happened?
b. Why did it happen that way?

7. “College romance has
become a common
phenomenon on campus.
Different people have
different opinions
about it. Some take it
for granted. They think
it is quite natural for
students at this age.
Others take a negative
view about it.”

8.  Objective: To educate students of the
negative effects of College Romance.
 Place: Campus.
 Preparation time: 5 mins
 Role-play time: 10 mins
 Each of you should play one of the roles as:
Candidate A: Female student in love with B.
Candidate B: Male student in love with A.
Candidate C: You are a professor who hates
romance inside the classroom.
Candidate D: You are the parent of A.

9. Apparently the role-playing technique
of instruction appears deceptively simple
and seems to impose minimal demands on
the teacher.
However, on closer inspection, it
requires extraordinary amount of skill,
finesse, and acuity of observation and
analysis.
