Lesson#4 Coping With Conflict

#3. I think what changed them from the worst sixth grade class to the best freshman class is that they stopped giving rude remarks, they started to have better behaviour, they probably stopped fighting and bringing weapons in school if they did. What matters most is that they thought about what could happen if they stopped being bad. The benefits.

#5. Chess and checkers might teach kids to control impulsive behaviour because those games requires patience and concentration. It will help kids to control thier impulsive behaviour and start having good behaviour.

#6. I think the actions adults could use to prevent conflicts among children is to know more information about them and spend more time with them. They should find out where they go what they do and when they are coming back. They should also spend more quality time with thier kids so that they could get the love and affection they need to motivate them to do better.

#1. The writer chose to introduce this article to show what happens when when kids fight and that it could result to death. My interest in the article would not change at all because I already know what can happen when kids fight and that it could result to death.

#2. I think the statistic used in the second paragraph is either compare and contrast or conflict and resolution. I think the author uses it tell the reader how things happen and what happens at the end of it. Also why it happens and how you should solve it.

#3. It describes that the kids were bad and there was no sign of hope until the principle organized a program that will help improve the behaviour of the kids. the topic of this paragraph is that no matter how bad you are you can always start to be good and improve. The details support this because it shows how bad the kids were and that they brought weapons to school but just because of a program that was made the kids started to be good.

#4. In the forth paragraph the author show that the kids realises thier mistake and and feels bad about it. It shows that the kids want to change. Readers need to read this information so that they could understand the third paragraph as well as seeing how a person could change.

#5. The author combined a statement about bullying as well as suggestions to prevent violent attacks to show not to hit back maybe. Also it shows that when a person is troubled by a bully then they might get disturbed and act just like the bully.

I think that the author of the article could've interviewed the principle and teachers of the school for information on the topic. I say the principle because he organizes programs to help the students behaviour. I picked the teacher because they see the students behaviour in class and should now how to fix it.

For my reasearch article I would like to interview Roger Bagnall a greek and roman expert and Ms Murchio our school latin teacher also Brigitte Bedos-Rezak a midieval expert and greek scientist. I would also like to interview Markus Asper.
