Welcome, everyone! Today we're diving into conflict resolution. Introduce the lesson title and explain that by the end, students will know a simple 5-step process to turn disagreements into collaboration.

Read through the objectives aloud. Emphasize the importance of practicing together and reflecting on how these skills help in real life.

Ask students: Why might learning to resolve conflict be useful? Collect a couple of responses before moving on.

Display the [Five-Step Conflict Resolution Poster](#five-step-conflict-resolution-poster) as you introduce the first step. Model pausing by taking a deep breath.

Provide an example: “I felt hurt when you took my marker.” Then ask a volunteer to practice identifying a problem.

Encourage students to shout out wild ideas. Stress that at this stage, no idea is a bad idea.

Guide students to pick solutions that respect everyone’s needs. Highlight compromise and fairness.

Use the [Conflict Resolution Assessment Rubric](#conflict-resolution-assessment-rubric) to illustrate how we’ll reflect. Ask: What went well? What could improve?

Divide into groups of three. Distribute one [Conflict Resolution Role-Play Scenarios](#conflict-resolution-role-play-scenarios) card per group. Assign roles: Person A, Person B, Observer. Give 8 minutes.

Invite one or two groups to share key insights. Record responses on the board. Collect observer notes and close by encouraging use of these steps.
