Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Ask learners: “Have you ever disagreed with a friend or family member? What happened?” Discuss examples to introduce the concept of conflict.
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Content/Explanation:
- Define conflict as a disagreement, argument, or problem between people.
- Explain that conflicts can happen in different settings: home, school, playground, or community.
- Provide simple, relatable examples:
- Two children wanting the same toy.
- Classmates arguing over group work or turns.
- Family members having different opinions about chores or activities.
- Use storytelling and role-play to illustrate conflicts: learners act out a disagreement scenario and discuss what is happening.
- Draw a simple chart on the board showing situations that can lead to conflict (e.g., misunderstanding, competition, unfairness).
- Encourage learners to share personal experiences in pairs, reflecting on minor conflicts they have observed or experienced.
Learners’ Activities (Expanded):
- Listen attentively to definitions and examples of conflict.
- Participate in discussion and storytelling by suggesting examples from their own lives.
- Engage in role-play, acting out conflicts and exploring how disagreements happen.

- Reflect on why conflicts occur and how people feel during conflicts.
Assessment Checks:
- Ask learners to explain conflict in their own words.
- Observe participation during discussion and role-play to ensure understanding.
- Review drawings/writings to check that learners can identify conflicts and their causes.
