First, we talk about conflict and how it is a part of life. Conflict isn't bad until it leads to an argument or a fight. We want to keep if from getting to that point (hence a lesson)!
Then we talk about three styles of conflict. Each style has an animal that makes it easy for the kids to remember. My students love this part and are stopping me in the halls to tell me they aren't being sharks!
The we watch The Zax, a short video of the story by Dr. Seuss. It is a wonderful adaptation and uses the original images from the story. They we talk about the style of the Zax and about their conflict and how they could've done better at resolving their conflict.
This is where the powerpoint in my TPT store ends. The reason for this is that I use a wonderful resource already on TPT in another store.
I do not want to take away from this person, so I have taken out the discussion and images of the SODAS model from the Powerpoint in my TPT store. However, my kids love this because they love soda! It really helps them remember the steps!

In my lesson, I add images from this resource and we go through a couple of scenarios together using this model. The resource includes a worksheet where you can have the students work in groups if you'd prefer that. I whited out my detailed part of the activity for this post, but I added all the steps in a text box over the image I took from the resource mentioned above. I have each section staged to appear after we have talked about it as a group. This is a great way for them to see the process laid out!
