DQ 13-5: O

One of the best ways to work on your macro practice skills is to imagine various situations in which you would need to use macro practice skills, and think about what you would do.  For this point, come up with a scenario, and share it with the class.  For a scenario, you generally tell people to imagine they are in such-and-such a role. Then, you give them some background, and describe the situation they face.  You could simply ask, "What would you do? Why?"  Or, you might give people options for what they should do or say.   You can think of a scenario involving a group and some large event or problem, or create a scenario around a situation between two persons.  For the best scenarios, you will be thinking about some point or principle or rule that we should know in macro-practice, and you will be trying to help those who consider your scenario learn that point, principle, or rule. 

    I look forward to the scenarios you share here, and also the answers your classmates will give for how they would deal with the scenario you have created for them to imagine..
