Make one copy of Talking point 2 for every four students. Cut into cards.

1. Have students form groups of four. Give each group one set of role-play cards, placed facedown in order from 1 to 4, and with A and B cards separated.
2. In their groups, tell students to form pairs. The first pair chooses a role-play card. One student chooses an A card and one student chooses a B card.
3. Students should read their own card and then begin the role play, completing the dialog with their own ideas. The other pair of students watches and listens.
4. When the role play is finished, have the other pair say what the situation was and then perform the next role play.
   
5. Have groups continue until they have done all four role plays.
