• Divide the class into 5 groups. Ask them to cast themselves
as members of a family. Give each group one situation from resource
sheet 4 and give them 5 minutes to prepare to act out the
scene.
• Ask the first group to act out their scene. While it
is going on the rest of the class should make a note of whether
there is good communication particularly between the generations.
• When the scene is over ask the class what they noticed
about the communication in the 'family' and also ask if they have
any alternative solutions to the problem posed.
• Ask the 'family' whether they were satisfied with the
level of communication they were able to achieve and how this
could have been improved.
• In discussing the issues raised in the scene, what difficulties
had to be overcome by the 'family' in order to find solutions?
Did anyone have to change his/her attitudes?
