Activity Overview
Conflict is when a person or group experiences resistance in relation to a desired outcome. Visualizing different conflict scenarios that impact one person can be an effective way to learn. Students may be familiar with these concepts from their literary class, but not be aware that they extend to real life! As an introductory activity, have students create a spider map that defines and illustrates each type of conflict that someone can encounter. You can provide them with the list below, or have them identify them on their own.
