Introducing Conflict Resolution

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Conflicts come, and conflicts go, but it's how to resolve those conflicts that learners need to know. After identifying the states of conflict in a news article and engaging in a role-play activity, class members reflect on recurring conflicts in their lives, identify triggers or what sets them off in a conflict, and then establish personal conflict resolution goals.
