Propose TWO practical solutions that a learner can use to resolve
conflict with their friends

 1. Give students a chance to cool off and reflect on their feelings. Even if disputes occur in the middle of class, when you may not be able to discuss the situation with the students, you can provide students with a quiet space to calm down and focus on some reflection questions to prepare for a later discussion (check out our handout at the end of the article for a sample reflection guide).  

2. At an appropriate time, bring the students together, and with your help, ask them to share their feelings about the situation. This is often the most difficult step, especially for students who are not used to resolving conflict in this way.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
