I use the ethnodrama entitled "Hong Kong, Canada" which is found in the appendix of Teaching and Learning in a Multilingual School by Tara Goldstein. The script was based on her years of ethnography in a Toronto High School which had seen a huge influx of students from Hong Kong and the relationships and language conflict that emerged from both the individual and collective experiences of multiculturalism and multilingualism. Through using the script read aloud in a class or training, it enables participants to experience the feelings and effects of racism, xenophobia, language discrimination, language choice, identity conflicts, belonging, and how some experiences of "other" or "only" manifest in the lives of different people and relationships, even if they have not ever experienced these personally. This reading also brings issues of vocabulary and connotation and bias to the fore as well.

Also, as a follow up if the course or workshop allows, participants can generate one-scene ethnodramas based on their own experiences or observations.

While this is always powerful as reading lines aloud is a very different experience--an embodied experience--compared with reading silently/independently, I had the opportunity once to lead this activity in a room equipped with microphones, and that raised the bar for the experiential component of not only speaking/hearing the words expressed but magnified. The use of microphones seemed to give the words more weight or importance which made them even more impactful.
