Part of Lesson Plan: Do NOT Cross The Line!

Activity Overview / Details

Teacher plays the role of an employer, calls on a student volunteer to play the role of an employee.  Then, student employee draws a slip of paper from a container that describes a workplace harassment scenario. The scenario is acted out by the student employee and teacher employer in this mock harassment scenario.  A discussion with the class follows to identify type of action and policy that should be enforced.  After role playing the workplace scenario, the rest of the class will pair up.  Each student in the pair will draw a different scenario from the container.  One of the pair becomes the “employee” and the other becomes the “employer”.  Given a three-minute time limit, the “employee” in each pair will read and act out the scenario while the “employer” in the pair offers an appropriate workplace policy or action to be taken.  After three minutes, the teacher calls “switch”.  The mock harassment activity is repeated.
