Objective: Develop a two minute skit that shows how your group's assigned character would react to the situation provided bellow. All the members of your group will have the same character traits. Use slightly different reactions to highlight the many ways the character you are representing would react to change. Purpose: The purpose of the skit is to provoke discussion in the class of the pros and cons of reacting to change in the way your assigned character would. The Situation: You are each members of the Towson University Baseball or Men’s Soccer team. You have just learned that your programs are being discontinued at the University and you must plan how you are going to deal with this situation. The situation is open to each group’s interpretation. Some suggested avenues of approach are: Each member of the group is at a different point in their career. Some are seniors on their last year of eligibility; others are underclassmen that may choose to transfer. Take into account how the players will approach their final season. Do they continue to go to class and study hall? Are they still as involved as previous years?
