Mrs Handley Task

 Welcome back to my blog. Today we read through 3 scenarios of uncomfortable situations. We had to choose one of those then choose one of 2 different tasks for it. Task 1 was to write a roleplay on how to deal with the situation and task 2 was to create a Powtoon and write some tips and tricks on how to deal with it. I chose Task 1 the roleplay. This is the existing text. 

• Monique’s parents expect her to come home directly from school

• each day. But today, Jamila wants Monique to come to her house

• for a little“get together” after school. Some of the other kids are

• coming over and Jamila’s mother won’t be home. Monique doesn’t

• want to go because she knows her parents will be really angry if

• she goes and she isn’t sure it is safe without any adults there.

• Jamila doesn’t want to take “no” for an answer because Monique is

• her best friend.  

This is my roleplay on how to deal with it.

Monique: "I'm sorry but I can't come over right now my parents want me to be home now."

Jamila: "Come on, It'll only be for a bit."

Monique: "I should be getting home now."

Jamila: "No, Come inside with me now!"

Monique: "I have an idea, how about I ask my parents and you ask your parents and we can organise it for another day?"

Jamila: "That's a good idea but I want you to come in now."

Monique: "Or another thing I can do is I'll come inside and I'll borrow your phone so I can ring my mum."

Jamila: "Yessssss! quickly come in so we can get more time"

If you're ever stuck in this situation try and negotiate with the other person for another time or negotiate with your parents somehow if you have contact with them.

Here are some tips and tricks for this.

Try and plan ahead.

Try and Give a believable excuse.

Walk away.

Use the cold shoulder.
