1.) Meeting Roleplay: Controlling the Discussion in Meetings + Brainstorming (Student 4 Leading)
Meeting Roleplay 2: Planning a Day in the City (*Please read "Guidelines for Brainstorming" before starting)
Background:
Your team will host visitors from Paris HQ next summer.
Goal:
Plan a day in the city for them, from 12 PM to 6 PM.
*Guidelines for Brainstorming
You can start by sharing vague ideas with the group. You should not prepare to present a super clear idea. When you begin the meeting, everyone will discuss the vague ideas and build on them, until they become much clearer and the group can evaluate them. Hopefully, toward the end of the Meeting Roleplay, there will be some clearer, well-developed and evaluated ideas for completing the Meeting Roleplay Goal.
(Japanese Translation of Guidelines Follow Below:)
*ブレインストーミングのガイドライン
最初は曖昧なアイデアをグループと共有することから始めてください。はっきりとしたアイデアを準備して発表する必要はありません。ミーティングを始めたら、全員でその曖昧なアイデアについて話し合い、徐々に明確にしていき、グループが評価できるようにします。ミーティングロールプレイの終盤には、ミーティングロールプレイの目標を達成するための、より明確でよく練られたアイデアがいくつか出てくることが望ましいです。
