Ask students to describe the type of conflict in this role play. Label these external conflicts and discuss what kinds of feelings these conflicts provoke. Compare and contrast these with feelings provoked by internal conflicts. Divide the class into groups. Distribute the conflict list and ask each group to discuss and identify the types of conflicts described.
Volunteers can share with their group or the class.
Discuss how each of these types of conflicts may call for a different process of problem-solving. You may download, print and make copies of this page for use in your classroom, provided that you include the copyright notice shown below on all such copies. All Rights Reserved.
