You left it on your desk. Another student takes your work and crosses your name off it and puts their name on it and hands it up to the teacher.
They can perform their roleplay for the class.
ACTIVITY 2: THINKING HATS Break into groups of six. Each person will be assigned a ‘colour hat’ that represents a different style of thinking about a problem. The issue that you will be considering is:
“Plagiarism is a serious offence”
Think about the issue from all perspectives, record your thoughts and ideas, present the ideas to the team leader. The team leader will then share the thoughts and ideas with the class.
TIPS Ask students to revisit page 31 of the student workbook to remember how to use the Thinking Hat methodology.SAMPLE
