ROLE PLAY ASSIGNMENT

SOCIAL WORKER SKILL: how to ask questions

TWO KINDS OF QUESTIONS:

1. Open-ended: give you the best chance of getting the whole story. These questions can’t be answered with a yes or no. The child will tell you the full story.

Examples: 

• I note that you have a bruise. How did it happen?
• Tell me more about that. 
• Tell me about what you do after school.
• I hear that you are having some problems at school now. Would you like to tell me about that?

2. Closed-ended: for specific information (when, who, where). 

Examples:

• Where did this happen?
• Why did he hit you?
• What did he hit you with?
• How often does this happen?
• Does he have a job now?

CASE

Marisol is 8 years old.  She lives with her mother, older brother Luis (age 19) and her little sister Carmen (age 5) in a government-funded housing project. 

A second-grade teacher came into your office very upset and she told you that she found something in Marisol’s lunch box: a plastic baggie with white powder in it. It was analyzed by the police and the result was what you feared: pure crack cocaine. 

ROLE PLAY

You need to follow up on this case. Marisol comes to your office. She immediately goes to the toy area and takes a stuffed animal off the shelf and hugs it tightly. You ask her to come to the round table with the stuffed animal. She is very tired. 

How can you get the information necessary from her to determine what steps should be taken?

Write some questions and do a role-play (2-3 minutes)

You can ask about: her family, her parents’ job, friends, school, daily routine, previous home/school. 

INTRO: introduce yourself and try to gain the girl’s trust

OPEN QUESTIONS: to get to know Marisol and the whole story. 

CLOSED QUESTIONS: to get specific details about the story. 

CLOSING: finish the interview / say goodbye 

You must finish the conversation by tomorrow because we'll start performing the role-plays.

This could be you!
