Previous Knowledge
Students already know what conflict is and have experienced minor disagreements.

Instructional Materials
Storybooks, scenario cards, drawing materials

Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Ask learners: “Can you think of different types of disagreements you have seen?” Discuss briefly.

B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes

Content/Explanation:

  • Explain the different kinds of conflicts:
    • Interpersonal conflict: a disagreement between two people (e.g., friends arguing over a game).
    • Group conflict: a disagreement between two or more groups (e.g., classmates disagreeing on how to complete a project).
    • Internal conflict: a disagreement or struggle within oneself (e.g., feeling torn about what is right or wrong in a situation).
  • Use storytelling to narrate simple scenarios for each kind.
  • Conduct role-play activities: learners act out interpersonal, group, and internal conflicts to see how they unfold.
  • Encourage learners to draw examples in groups, illustrating each type of conflict.

Learners’ Activities (Expanded):

  • Listen attentively to explanations of interpersonal, group, and internal conflicts.
  • Participate in role-plays, acting out each type of conflict and discussing feelings and outcomes.
  • Draw or write examples of different types of conflicts in their notebooks or on chart paper.
  • Discuss the causes and consequences of each type of conflict with peers.

Assessment Checks:

  • Ask learners to identify the kind of conflict in a given scenario.
  • Observe participation in role-plays and group discussions for understanding.
  • Review drawings and written examples to ensure learners can distinguish between types of conflicts.
  • Pose reflective question: “Why might an internal conflict be harder to solve than a conflict with a friend?”

Notes (Expanded & Detailed):

  • Emphasize that knowing the kind of conflict helps in choosing the best resolution strategy.
  • Highlight that interpersonal conflicts often need communication, group conflicts may need negotiation, and internal conflicts require self-reflection.
  • Encourage learners to notice conflicts around them and think about which kind they are experiencing for better problem-solving.
  • Reinforce that all conflicts can be managed positively if understood properly.

C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Summary: Conflicts can be between individuals, groups, or within ourselves; recognizing the type helps us solve it better.

Evaluation Method (Expanded)

Teacher will collect slips and provide oral feedback.

Assignment (Expanded)
