After teaching about bullying, and helping students understand that sometimes we have disagreements with others that are not considered bullying, I figured the next best topic to discuss would be Conflict Resolution. Click on the link to access my Conflict Resolution Prezi .
I had this lesson planned long before teaching it. Little did I know, it would fall during the week we celebrated Dr. Seuss! It must have been meant to be!
Students loved watching The Zax and seeing how refusing to budge from the way we think can cause problems.
We talked about different ways to handle conflicts - Soft, Loud, and Think and Share. (This idea came from Pinterest.) Together we decided that the Zax used a Loud way to respond to their conflict.
We watched another quick video from Youtube, studying which way the characters handled their conflict.
Our lesson ended with a chart of different options for responding to conflict, which I left in each classroom as a reference.
