  • The Technique of Role Playing

    512 Words  | 2 Pages

Idealists value the mind and concepts over all things. In this exercise, it is important to keep this sort of attitude. Students may not always understand the full meaning of the text. Often their young lives do not contain enough experience to comprehend the decisions, or actions that characters make. That is why it is more important that the class grasp the idea of motivated action. The intended meaning of a line will determine how the other characters perceive and react to it. This also lends itself to the idealist precept that life should be guided by thought.

Also, by giving the students diaries to express themselves properly, as well as genuine care for their well-being, Ms. Gruwell allowed them to develop a more positive self-image of themselves, thus successfully implementing SIT. These methods could be applied by any other teacher. Ms. Gruwell worked hard to have her students realize there was no benefit in stereotyping each other based on their ethnicity. However, she could have taken that one step further and attempted to make the rest of the school realize that there was no point in stereotyping her students; especially her fellow teachers, who looked down on room 203, and stereotyped them as “dumb” and “violent” students, until the end of the movie.

The important part to note in this definition is that while the existing “opposing needs, drives, wishes, or external or internal demands,” may be incompatible, the use of the word,
