"The Role Playing Process:

   1. Make sure the students define a situation that is relevant and important to them--for example, a situation in which they may be offered a drug. Get details such as the setting and number and types of people involved.

   2. Set the stage by arranging furniture, indicating where 'doors' might be located.

   3. Prepare the audience by giving them specific questions to be prepared to answer at the conclusion of the role play. Examples:

      (a) Would this work in real life?

      (b) How would you have handled the situation?

   4. There are numerous ways to select participants. Discuss ideas.

   5. Begin the role play, stopping it if it is unrealistic, going nowhere, or has accomplished its purpose.

   6. Ask questions of the participants and audience.

   7. Reenact the role play, if necessary, using a variation of the situation, new participants, feedback provided to improve a skill. . .
