Introducing the lesson: Present relevant background information, the purpose of the lesson, and the learning objectives.
Teacher/Learner Activity 1 – Start Resolving Conflict Today:
• Begin by asking the class to share words/ideas that come to mind when they hear the words ‘conflict’ and ‘conflict resolution’.
• Is the meaning of ‘resolution’ different when used in an everyday context? • Write their responses on a flip chart or on the board. • Divide students into pairs. • Suggest one of the following two activities:
Mirroring Game Attentive Listening and Body Language Game Teacher/Learner Activity 2 – The Common Theme of Conflict:
• Divide students into groups of 3. • Ask them to discuss their ideas about, and experience with conflict and to be prepared to share with the whole class.
• Hand out, and have them complete, Resource J1, as group members share their ideas/experiences.
Teacher/Learner Activity 3 – Confidence Building – Dealing with Aggression:
• Divide students into pairs and explain that they will be simulating situations in which they have to deal with aggression.
• Using one of the conflict experiences identified in the previous activity, one partner will take the role of the aggressor, and the other will practise de-escalating the situation.
• Be clear that there must be no aggressive physical contact throughout. • Consider the following alternatives for defusing a conflict:
• •
• •
• Be firm, clear and calm.
Keep your volume steady (don’t shout), speak slowly, keep your distance, avoid aggressive arm movements and facial gestures.
Look the person in the eye. Tell the person to stop.
• Walk away from the situation and tell an adult who can deal with it.
Partners will change roles so that each practises both sides of the conflict.
• Since asking an adult for help is often difficult for students, you might suggest that the pairs role-play a teacher and a student to practise asking for help.
Reflection/Ideas to Discuss:
Ask a few partners to share their experience with the role-play process. • Where does conflict come from? • What are the benefits of resolving these conflicts? • Why is it important to resolve conflicts peacefully? • Are there obvious ways to avoid conflict? • Is violence ever justified? • What strategies have you practised that can be used to deal with aggressive behaviour?
