This assessment requires you to adopt the role of a character provided to you in the assessment resources and address a role play problem from that person’s perspective. You are stepping into a character, and determining a response to a problem from that character’s perspective. You have to do two role plays in total to complete this assessment.It will be an exciting and fun task!

You must complete two role-play tasks, from any two separate topics, from topics 7-11.The role play problemfor each topic is provided in the discussion forum for that topic.

For each role play you have to:

• Make the first postof no more than 250 words as if written by your chosen character to address the problem. You must use the behavioural profile information from Topic 1 as well as information from the relevant topic. References are not needed. (6 marks)
• Respond to a first postmade by any character,in no more than 350 words, adopting the perspective of another one of the other characters. Use a minimum of two (2) academic or professional references in your response. (6 marks)

Remember, it is not your own perspective being offered: you are stepping into the characters. The roleplay will be run in the Discussion forums. A separate roleplay discussion forum has been created for each topic. You must post into the correct role play to be eligible for a mark. You are reminded to be respectful and professional when posting to Discussion forums. You will get the most out of this assessment task by practising empathy and thus embracing each character’s point-of-view while at the same time reflecting a real-world situation.

To make an initial post– create a thread in the forum, and indicate in the subject line which character you are playing.

To respond to a post– press the reply button on another character’s initial post.

Each role play is worth 12 marks, and another 6 marks are available for overall application of theory and writing style, in total giving you an overall score out of 30. Please see Presentation requirements below for the Turnitin submission so you can receive feedback on this assessment task.
