Role Play
A Role Play is a created situation in which students deliberately act out or assume characters or identities they would not normally assume.
Dyadic Interviews
In Dyadic Interviews, student pairs take turns asking each other questions that tap into values, attitudes, beliefs, and prior experiences that are relevant to course content or learning goals.
