As I mentioned in class you should adopt a persona for this game, coordinating with the other students in your faction. In addition, the no reading rule will be strictly enforced. If you stand up with a piece of paper and start reading you will be asked to sit down, and be bumped to last place in the discussion. Finally, the five minute rule will be observed--you must talk for that long, excluding interuptions to receive full credit for participation in this unit.
