Role playing activities:
Provide different scenarios to a small groups of students so they can act out what is described on the index card. As a teacher, you can set up the scenes in two different ways:
1. You can tell the students how they should behave and what the rules are before you give them the scenarios so they have some idea of what you are looking for and what they should be acting out.
2. Or you can allow the students to act out the scenarios first then teach them. One of the reason I would let the students act out first, because allows you to be an observer and judge which rules need more work one than others. This ways allows more discussion between you and your students. Opinions, confusion, and knowledge can be accomplished through open communication. You can lead the discussion with such questions as: Why would this way not work based on this rule of computers? How would you handle the situation differently? How do you perceive this rule? Is it fair? Does it comply with other laws that they have as a society? Students will enjoy talking to you about rules and why they are or are not fair. You do not want the students to have any confusion about computers and really want to make sure they understand if a substitute is teaching the class. The students have to know why rules are important and know they will see these rules again and so they might as well live by them.
Scenarios:
1. One student name Jimmy has stolen a disk from another student so he does not have to do the project. When the teacher ask for the projects, Jimmy turns in Kyle's disk as his. What would you do if you saw Jimmy steal the disk and know it is Kyle's?
2. Everyday the teacher allows students to check their e-mail and also finish work from previous day. Kate has brought a disk from home that Mary knows that her computer has a virus. How should Mary handle the situation without hurting Kate's feelings?
3. Karen is working on a older computer whose mouse is not working properly. The lab has plenty of newer ones and at any time the students can request the equipment to be looked at and/or changed. Instead of asking for assistance, Karen is seen by Bobby slamming the mouse onto the table. One person can be Karen and the other Bobby. Karen can pretend to beat the mouse and Bobby what would you do in this situation?
4. Michael and Curtis are the active, loud students in the class. They are writing a paper on the two computers in class, Curtis and Michael are really good friends and they love to fight with each other. Jennifer walks in from break and notices that they are beating each other with the teacher's software (cds). She knows that they have been taught want is right and wrong. Without talking to the teacher, what could Jennifer say to the boys to make them realize that they could be destroying the teacher's property?
