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 chart paper 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 O1, 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 practice 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 practices 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 practice 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 practiced that can be used to deal with aggressive behavior?
