To prepare for your next role play, proceed as follows:
- Define your role more concretely (e.g. science journalists vs. tabloid journalists) and prepare a sign stating your definition. Bring this to the role-play.
- Prepare the arguments for your role in the role-play regarding the question (make sure to understand your role’s position to the question, institutional settings and so on…) in your role-group.
- Decide upon the main speaker (stating main points,…). The blogger (taking notes, observing the discussion, taking photos…) and the person to comment (the blog post and commenting are part of next week’s homework) are already set in advance (see table below). Keep in mind that all of you should contribute to the discussion and also take notes. (Update 2020: this year you only have to decide on a main speaker.)
- Go through the ‘Guidelines for discussions’.
