ABSTRACT
This chapter offers detailed accounts of some of the author's own more adventurous designs. In Role-Plays, students inhabit and enact specific roles in interaction, normally with preparation and therefore some depth, with the interaction progressively unfolding in a number of steps and stages. Animal rights groups favor it, obviously, because it could vastly reduce animal suffering. Other interest groups formed, such as cattle growers (against IVM, in unexpected alliance with a nascent Native People’s caucus), the World Council of Churches (ecotheologians and others concerned for the integrity of the natural world in its own right), and various other groups organized by enterprising groups of students, such as Citizens Against Test-Tube Meat, a front group for ranchers and chicken-growers. Both aliens and animals have a field day accusing humans of hypocrisy. The animals don’t hold their fire. The aliens are bemused by humans’ discomfiture.
