Perception Role-play: Roxanne and Courtney Jump to the Wrong Conclusions

A. Students participate in scripted role-play called "Roxanne and Courtney Jump to the Wrong Conclusions."

Story Description: The idea for this role-play came from three of my former seventh-grade students. It starts with a he said/she said situation where Roxanne and Courtney give this girl no chance to explain her side of the story. Instead they simply choose to believe the worst. Then there will be a re-role-play showing how the situation should actually have been handled. This role-play is called "Roxanne and Courtney Jump to the Wrong Conclusions."

Link to that Perception story called "Roxanne and Courtney Jump to the Wrong Conclusions."
