Lesson Plan
Activity: Role Playing
Skill(s): Acting in positive and negative ways Grade Level: 7th to 9th grade girls
# of Students: 40 Equipment: nothing.
Connect to Utah State Standard: Standard 5 Objective 2 D – Identify positive and negative peer influences.
Learning Objectives:
Cognitive- The girls will understand how to put them selves in an imaginary position.
Affective- The girls will desire to be in positive or negative positions.
Psychomotor- The girls will act out their person during role play.
Safety Issues: Be nice to others and don’t put others down. This is all an imaginary situation. Since there are negative situations it is important and the girls don’t touch each other while acting angry or mad.
Student grouping for each activity: The girls will be in pairs and I will let them pick their partners. I may add them with another pair to make groups of 4.
Technical Description of the skills:
Students will be put into groups of 4 and each student will be given a role to act out. 2 of the students will be a part of the negative act and the other 2 will be a part of the positive act.
The Negative act consists of both a mad referee and an angry player. The students will need to depict the situation of the referee kicking the player off the field. They are allowed to voice their opinions as long as nasty words are not said and they are considerate to each other. It is important to remember that they are role playing so nothing should be taken personally.
The Positive act is between two players at half time. Their team is in the lead 2 to 0 and they are encouraging each other to keep up the good work and to stay ahead. A pep talk could also describe this situation. Both players are urged to say only positive things.
In the groups, each pair of students will have 3 minutes to rehearse how the situation will reflect a positive or negative influence then each pair will be given 3 minutes to act out their situation to the rest of the groups.
Verbal Cues: none
Learning Experiences:
Introduction- We will talk about how positive and negative situations occur and how they make them feel.
Closure- The closure will take place within their journal writing.
Assessments:
After the situations have been acted out the students will be given a rubric and a set of questions to record in their journal. This assessment is completely relevant to fulfilling the objective because it allows students to see what positive and negative situations look like and the effects of words can have on people. As the students are watching each group perform they will see how situations become good and bad based on positive and negative influences.

Additional Scenarios:
Situation 1 - Referee and Player - Negative
Referee- You are the referee for this soccer game. There is one player that is being too aggressive to play you need to take her off the field and give her a break.
Player- You are getting so upset at the fact that the referee keeps picking on you and making unfair calls. You are going to yell at her and tell her who she should be making the calls on.
Situation 2 - Teammates – Positive
Goalie- It is half time and your team is winning. You are glad that your teammate who is playing forward has been able to score and you want to tell her to keep up the good work.
Forward- You are happy that you have scored and put your team in the lead but you know that you couldn’t have done it without your goalie’s hard work and you want to tell her that she is doing a good job.
Situation 3 - Parent and Referee – Negative
Parent- You are infuriated that this dumb referee is making unfair calls. How is your child’s team supposed to win when they keep getting unfair calls? You need to give this ref a piece of your mind.
Referee- You are getting irritated by this parent on the sideline. If they tell you one more thing about how you are refereeing you are going to get very mad at them.
