  • find two volunteers and give them time to rehearse the script. Do this early in the training session. As an alternative, you can play one of the parts in the role-play.
  • have volunteers act out the script.
  • ask the rest of the group to decide what the role-players did correctly and incorrectly.
66
Q

  5. Tell the learner how he or she is doing throughout the practice.
67
Q

Jigsaw Design method

A
  • Put learners into small groups
  • Assign a specific food safety topic to each group
  • Tell each group to read about their topic, discuss it, and decide how to teach it to others
  • Take one person from each group and form new groups
  • Have each memeber in the new group teach his or her topic to the other group members.
  • Bring the groups back together for review and questions.
68
