On the role playing demo in second life tonight.

1. Supervision Internship [401591]
Week Two – Introduction to Role Playing
Marcus Birkenkrahe [Birkenkrahe Aya]

2. What Is A Role Play
 Characters act out a predefined situation
 There is no script but there is a description
(which you will have to write & present to us first)
 The role play itself will take place in Second Life
 The play will be followed by impromptu analysis and
discussion

3. Why do we do role plays?
 It's fun (or rather: it can be fun, might also be emotionally
painful)
 Opportunity for the you to see your own situation from the
outside
 Opportunity for others to experience your problem setting
„from the inside“, as it were
 Opportunity for a richer discussion about professional
issues — you automatically go „deeper“

4. What will you have to do?
 Present a problem description (situation) to us (no more
than one paragraph identifying issues and main actors)
 Be present for the role play and the post-mortem
 Briefly document the initial situation (your description),
what you saw (during the role play) and what you got out
of it (if anything).
 If you didn't get anything out of it that'll be very worth
reflecting and documenting, too!

6. Questions: Opinionator
1. „I think role-playing might really support me in my
internship.“
2. „I'm considering a role play instead of the presentation.“
3. „I'm considering a role play in addition to a presentation.“
