Module 50

To role-play a familiar situation

Activity 1:

To role-play a familiar situation [lo 2.2.1]

To write a dialogue [lo 4.3.1]

It is important that we are always prepared to act in an emergency. We need to know whom to call and what information to provide.

This activity will help to prepare you to deal with a situation where you have to report the outbreak of a fire. Your educator will divide you into partners. Start the activity by looking up the correct number to phone in the case of a fire. Record it.

Fire Department: ______________

Now we are going to pretend that you are the first eyewitness to a fire in a building of your choice. You are going to pretend to make the call to the local fire department to report the fire. You and your partner must write the dialogue between the eyewitness and the person who receives the call at the fire department.

Remember that this is an emergency call. Give only the necessary information, for example the correct address. First brainstorm your ideas and the information that you would need to communicate. Then write your dialogue.

Now prepare to present your dialogue to the class. remember to make use of props, like telephones, if you can, and to speak slowly and clearly, but urgently.

Memorandum

This activity focuses on preparing the learners to handle a fire emergency. Divide the learners into partners for this activity. The first step is to ensure that they know what number to phone in the case of a fire. If possible, have some telephone directories available for learners to look up the correct number. Encourage learners to write this number somewhere near their telephone at home. (Design a small card in Design and Technology or Art that has all the emergency numbers on it.)

Before the learners begin the next part of the activity, have a discussion about what would happen if they had to make an emergency call to the fire department. Talk about the information that would be requested and possible questions that would be asked. The learners, in their partners, will have to write a dialogue between the eyewitness, who first notices the fire, and the operator who receives the call at the fire department. Then revise the punctuation that they will use when writing their dialogue. Allow enough time for learners to discuss and write their dialogue together in class.

Once the written part is complete, learners can present their dialogues to the rest of the group or class. Some props, like a set of telephones will make the telephone conversation more realistic and interesting to watch. Make use of the Educator’s Assessment Chart to complete your assessment.
