- Representation – the responsibilities of elected representatives.
- Scrutiny – keeping a check on the government of the day.
Why use role play in your classroom?
Role-play is active learning at its best, driven by student interaction, immersion and engagement. It is suitable for students of all ages and abilities. Role-play engages students in a deep approach to learning that pushes the boundaries of each learner's understanding of the real world.
