The Process:
The simulation involves three parts.

1. The first is the simulated debate. After being divided into groups, students are to conduct research about their characters and prepare short presentations. For those working in groups (i.e., the distributor executives or production staff), each student should prepare his/her own piece of the presentation to ensure that everyone is involved. The student playing Joey can work with the production staff but should have slightly different justifications and motives. The students playing former guests can, within reasonable guidelines, be creative in coming up with the topic of the show they were on.
   
   After students have prepared, conduct the debate. First, those in favor of the new distributor picking up the show should present their viewpoints. Then, those against The Joey Sellar Show airing should have a chance to present.
   
   
2. Stage two of the simulation involves individual assessment of the proceedings. After all arguments have been heard, the students are to leave their roles behind and become an impartial jury. Each student is to write a short paper explaining how he/she would vote, based on the arguments presented. After the assignment has been turned in, the students reconvene in class.
   
   
3. The final stage is the vote, discussion, and analysis. All those who voted in favor of the show being picked up form one group, while those against the show form another. Each group should work together briefly to come up with the major reasons they voted the way they did and present their findings to the other half. The whole class can then discuss the outcomes.
   
   You pick the guests. What follows are five possible topics for future Joey Sellar shows. As a class, vote on which ones you would most like to see, as well as which ones you are most likely to see. Compare and contrast the results. Why did you select the shows you did? What is intrigueing about the topics you chose? Why did you think certain topics were more likely to become shows than others?
