In your hometown there are two families. Both these families are well to do, and are respected in the town except for one thing. They have been feuding for many years. In fact, in the recent past there have been two major brawls in the streets, and people (both members of the families and innocent bystanders) have been killed.

Focus:Information and Point of View Questioning Activity - Members of your role-playing group to play the following roles: two family members of the "Jones" family (one of the feuding families), two members of the "Smith” family (the other feuding family), and people from the town who are not part of the feud (neutral bystanders). There should be a maximum of six in each group. What will happen when the two families meet in the center of town? What will be the reaction of the other people in the town? In your groups, you'll need to think of some good reasons why the feud started, and some interesting ways to address the other people involved in the role play. You’ll also need to discuss ways to prevent conflict from happening. Remember that, although the families are feuding, they don't want another incident in the streets. Think through what you will do and say. Once you start to role-play, stay with the scene until the teacher freezes the action and/or becomes a “fly on the wall” listening to the various smoldering fires! Respond in your character to the teacher’s questions.
