Exercise to Engage the Class in Presentation
Purpose (Objective): The purpose of this activity is to make the students familiar to conflict situations and strategies to resolve them.
Materials Needed: It will need conflict situations in a container enough for the students to understand different types of conflicts and strategies that can be used to resolve conflicts effectively. The number of situations needs to be decided by the instructor. These situations are then typed up and then cut into slips of paper with one issue per slip. Mix up the slips and put them in a hat, box, or other container.
Group Size: Works with any size group.
Plan: Tell the participants that each will be drawing out a slip of paper that has a situation that they will need to respond to in front of the group.
Instructions: Participants will take turns drawing a slip of paper from the container. Each slip will have a situation or scenario printed on the paper. The student will tell how they would handle the situation.
Action: Have the group sit in a circle. Randomly select a student and have them pull out a slip of paper. After they pull the slip out, have them read it out loud for all to hear and then give their response. After the response, discuss the issues related to the scenario and encourage other students for their opinion. After the group comes to a consensus of an appropriate choice, move to another student. Repeat until all have been able to participate.
Awareness: The students are informed about how these situations can be handled and appropriate strategies to be used in these real life situations.
After this exercise, the presentation would be shown to the students and handouts would be distributed to everyone. The instructor then would ask the students to write down about a real life conflict situation that they faced and what strategy they used to resolve that conflict on a piece of paper. All the sheets of their responses are then collected and analyzed to give them feedback in a later class.
