- Ask the pupils, working in pairs or groups, to study newspaper and magazine pictures of conflict between individuals, groups of people or communities. Include young people and parents, bullying situations, violence, arguments between friends, groups threatening one person or another group, and possible racial conflict. What kind of conflict is happening in the picture? What are the people doing? What could have happened before the picture was taken? And after? How does the situation affect those in the picture? Might it affect others who are not in the picture?
- Ask pupils to consider other situations of conflict they know about. These could be at school or in the media. Include local, regional, national and international situations.
- Build a class list of types of conflicts and ask the pupils to discuss common features. Ask pupils to work in pairs to produce a definition of conflict.
- Pupils select one conflict situation and consider how it affects individuals and communities. In groups, they produce a storyboard to show the conflict, its origin and one possible outcome.
