Module 7, Session 3
Activity 4

Role Play:
Using Facilitative Responses in the Classroom

Feeling Focus - Go beyond the words to the feelings.
Clarifying and Summarizing - Help students "hear back" their responses.
Questioning - Invite the students to share thoughts, ideas, & feelings.
Feedback and Confrontation - Give students honest & helpful feedback
Directing and Influencing - Help students generate options.

Work in triads (i.e., speaker, helper, and observer). Each member of the group participates in each of the three roles. The speaker should talk about any personal issue (e.g., a recent challenge, an important time in their life, a decision they have to make, or a conflict they need to resolve). Observers should note facilitative responses and provide positive feedback and areas for improvement.
