Download the “Role Play Script”(access this using the link is on the LMS).
You will need at least one partner for this exercise, to read/play the parts of the other stakeholders. Give them
the Role Play Script titled ‘Little Pear Juice Co.’. You only need one partner; they can read all the parts other than
yours.
Record your meeting with the others at Little Pear Juice Co. Follow the video recording instructions at the start of
this assignment document, and on the LMS.
Upload the meeting video when you upload this assignment document.
Please name your roleplay file with your surname followed by mod 2.2. For example, Smith Mod 2.2
General instructions:
Students must perform with at least 1 other person. Using just 1 other person to play multiple roles is
completely OK. Alternatively, you can use as many other persons as there are roles.
The other person(s) can play multiple roles except for the role required to be played by the student.
There is no requirement for the other person(s) to be visible in the video, so if your partner(s) would
prefer not to be visible, that’s OK.
The student must be visible throughout the video.
All persons must be audible throughout the recording.
Using a camera phone is often a quick and easy way to record the video.
For the role play, we suggest the following:
Have a quiet, private space where you can effectively record the video. This could be your
spare room at home, an office at your workplace, or even a study room at your local library.
Be appropriately dressed.
When you’re conducting the role play, don’t forget about:
Using appropriate body language and gestures, including eye contact
Speaking professionally, and at the appropriate pace
Using plain English
Listening without interrupting
Respond appropriately to what is said.
