Rules of engagement, good presentations and good role play descriptions: a reminder. Same text as in the Moodle wiki.

1. Rules of Engagement
1. Please choose for your in-world talk and put your name into the table.
Do not remove any data. Putting your name here counts as a
commitment. If you can attend (or present during) the lunchtime
session, do it (we've got too few students there at present).
2. Once you've got a date, get to work: create a presentation, upload it
on GoogleDocs or Slideshare. Send me the link (msb@hwr-berlin.de)
beforehand. If you're unsure about technology (uploading, presenting
etc) contact Johannes (jradig@gmail.com).
3. After the session, put a copy of your presentation and any other
observations from the session and your role-play into Moodle and
add a copy of the presentation, too.

2. Good Presentations
A good presentation tells a STORY:
it is engaged and contains emotional content,
it shows that you've thought about your material
it tells about events and doesn't just recount facts
Get the facts out of the way quickly. Slides should include:
Where is your internship (company, country) and what do you do there
Briefly describe a situation either past or future for a role-play.
You've got only 15 minutes for presentation including discussion.
Please rehearse your presentation.

3. Preparing a Role-Play
Your ROLE-PLAY will built on:
—a situation or scene (sketched by you in your presentation)
which involves you as one of the participants (as well as any
number of other people)
—a goal (something you want/ed to achieve in this scene)
We will ask volunteers in the session to play the parts indicated by
you; we will set the situation up as a role-play of at most 5 minutes,
and then we'll briefly discuss the results using this process:
What did the audience think or feel or observe during the role-play?
What did the actors think or feel or observe during the role-play?
What did the client think or feel or observe during the role-play?
