Interpersonal Module

Description of Background and Context

This module is a part of the unit “Gender and Sports in the Middle East and North Africa”. This module specifically builds on previous modules where students learned about challenges that women face in participating in sports in the some MENA countries. For this activity students will start to prepare about a week in advance. Each student will choose and research outside of class a trailblazing female athlete in the Middle East. Teachers will need to monitor the research progress so ensure students are ready for the in class portion. Upon completing the research students will prepare 1 slide in Explain Everything with at least 15 pictures that illustrate key aspects of their research subject’s life.

Activity Instructions:

You are the famous athlete you researched or an expert on this person, and today you are going on an interview talk show. Work on pairs. One of you will role play the talk show host conducting the interview and the other the famous person. Your final product should look be in this format:

• Using Explain Everything and the slide you prepared help to create an audio visual record of your interview. After ten minutes switch roles.

• When both of you have played both roles go back and review your interviews together and reflect on your ability to get your point across, vocabulary usage, grammar, and accent. You will be graded on the thoughtfulness of your responses not the responses themselves.

• Turn your reflections into the teacher and upload the videos to the class LMS page for the whole class to see.
