Step 1

GET INTO CHARACTER 

  1. Introduce yourself to your fellow team members.
  2. Get ideas for role-play names by consulting the professional associations, research institutes and university departments under your discipline name.
  3. Discuss prospective for names with your fellow team members and decide what to name your own character. For instance, conduct a web search by entering the following phrases: “Canadian Association of [discipline],” “American Association of [discipline],” “Research Centre” and “[discipline or topic],” “Department of [discipline].”

 What is your professional role-play name & title? e.g. Dr., Professor, Associate Professor, Director, Lead researcher.

What is your Institutional affiliation? e.g., a university or research centre.

What is your team name? e.g., a professional-sounding name that signifies something about your discipline as well as your approach to the assigned topic.
