Extending the Lesson WEEK 9

 Knowing and using the 5As is a great way 

to stay on top of the slippery slope and conquer conflict!

Does your word find from the workbook page 7-9 look like this?

Also, here are some optional activities to help you review and deepen your learning.

1. Role Play Activity: You and your sister get into an argument over whose turn it is to clean up the kitchen after dinner. You both say hurtful things to each other and accuse each other of being lazy. Using the first two As, demonstrate how you can handle the conflict.

2. Using the 5As as a guide, write a confession for each of the written situations.

3. Think of a choice that you have made that has contributed to a conflict with someone in your life. Use the 5As Worksheet to write out your confession.

4. With your classmates write a play about a conflict, and use the 5As to resolve that conflict. Be creative! You will need to decide what type of conflict to resolve.

Then set the scene and develop the story.

  • Write the play.
  • Assign parts.
  • Rehearse the play.
  • Develop costumes.
  • Make programs.
  • Decide if you want to present it as a Zoom presentation.
  • Set a date to act our the play for your parents and possible Zoom guests.
  • Perform your play.
This can be done as a class, group, or individually--with help and guidance from an adult, of course!

Consequences Belong to You WEEK 5 - PART 3

Learning the Word of God and putting it in your heart is always time well spent. So continue to be diligent in practicing and reciting our Bible verses. Cover the brown words below with your hand and try to say Galatians 6:7. Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. A man will reap exactly what he plants. Galatians 6:7 Concerning consequences: You may have heard some of these sayings: "What goes around comes around." "You get what you deserve."   "You reap what you sow." It is important to understand that the person who makes a choice deserves the consequence. For instance, if you make a choice, it is not your parent's fault if you receive a consequence. Remember that consequences are directly related to your own choices. Look in the glossary of your spiral and find the definition for AUTHORITY. Authority is the power or right to give orders,   make decisions, and enforce obedience ...

Making a Respectful Appeal WEEK 14 - Part 1

We have reached the last chapter of our peace making study! I am proud of the way you have stuck with the program and worked toward completion. Great job!! We will celebrate more fully as we can gather together. In our last chapter we learned how to use the communication pie tool to send and receive messages with people in our family.  1. As a review exercise, write a paragraph that tells about what happened this past week each time you communicated respectfully. Write down what you said, how you said it, and how you listened, and how members of your family responded. 2. Play Simon Says with your family members. During the game the students should obey "Simon" only if he uses respectful communication when giving directions. Directions communicated disrespectfully are not to be obeyed. 3. Name the four pieces of the communication pie. (Words, tone of voice, body language, and listening skills.) 4. In preparation for this chapter, write down this definition for the word appea...

Epilogue

Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is  found in those who take advice.  Proverbs 13:10   WHEN AND HOW TO GO AND GET HELP As we learned in studying the slippery slope, there are three basic ways that you can respond to conflict. You can escape, you can attack, or you can work out your differences in a way that will glorify God. We learned many things that can help you resolve conflicts in a way that pleases the Lord. We have discussed: How you can stay on top of the slippery slope rather than slip into the escape or attack zones. (See blog entries for WEEK 3.) What conflict is and where it comes from. (See blog entries for WEEK 4.) The fact that your choices may cause or prevent most of your conflicts, and that you will receive either good or bad consequences depending on the choices you make. (See blog entries for WEEK 5.) How your conflicts give you an opportunity to glorify God by the way you treat other people. (See blog entries for WEEK 8.) The importance of makin...
