Instructions

PART 1: Welcome, professor
- The person leading the activity should welcome everyone to the meeting and ask for a volunteer to play the professor.
- The rest of the group will play the students and sit ready for their lecture.
- When everyone’s ready, introduce the visiting professor and read one of the introductions on the Professor statements sheet. The students should applaud and welcome them to the online lecture.
- The catch is that the professor doesn’t know what field they’re an expert in until they hear the introduction read out loud, so they’ll have think on their feet and improvise.
- The professor should start giving a one-minute ‘lecture’ to the students on the topic they’ve been given while the students listen and take notes.
- Use the stopwatch or timer to make sure they stick to one minute. One minute is surprisingly long when you’re put on the spot! If the professor runs out of things to say the person leading the activity can offer a prompt question such as, ‘tell us what you think about using fossil fuels’ or ‘can you say more about moon landings?’
- At the end of the presentation, everyone should applaud the visiting professor. Introduce a different professor and a different topic and play again.
- Keep going until you run out of volunteers or topics.
