Activity Overview
In this activity, students will practice one of the ways to resolve conflict by completing a scenario you or another classmate has created. The example above will be copied into your teacher account when you click "Use This Assignment", and you can tailor it as necessary and add it as a template for students to complete. Students can choose which way they would like to resolve the conflict, and explain why they selected that method.
Ways To Resolve Conflict
Person to Person
Think about the other person as a person. Acknowledge people are imperfect, make mistakes, and entitled to their own opinions builds understanding for reasons behind actions or behaviors.
Listening to Understand
Listen with the intent to understand perspective as opposed to respond.
Time to Cool Off
When emotions are involved from both parties, sometimes logic is ignored, which makes conflict more difficult to manage. Some scenarios call for a time of no communication or interaction in order to resolve conflict effectively.
Find a Common Interest
Having common ground with a person or persons you're in conflict with enhances respect and humanizes them.
Never Assume
Without understanding the perspective of others, you may interpret their reactions or actions incorrectly.
Move On
While it’s important to address and not ignore conflict, conflict might not always be resolved or may take a long period of time. Prioritizing your thoughts and energy into other things and moving on from the conflict or scenario may be the only option.
