Conflict Management and Resolution: Mon Period 4 - Class # 11 - Mar 26

Wilson was back in class today though he looked a bit haggard as he leaned against the front of the desk, arms crossed over his chest. Still he had warm smiles for the students as they wandered in and a platter of goodies from J GoB, tea and coffee.

As everyone got settled in their seats, Wilson pushed off from the front of the desk and headed for the overhead projector.


“Good morning everybody, I hope you had a good weekend.”

Leaning his elbow against the projector he grinned.

“Good news. Due to my absence from class last week and by the way, many kudos to Blair and Pippi for a wonderful class, thank you both. Anyway due to my absence, we will not be having the test scheduled for today, today. Instead we’ll be meeting in the Danger Room next week for your test. So, you have an extra week to study.”

Drumming his fingers lightly against the projector, he flipped it on and reached to shut off the lights.

“All right, let’s get started.”



Lecture:

“Today we’re going to go to the brink and discuss the factors that lead up to a violent altercation with an emphasis on the last ditch efforts to intervene to prevent a violent conflict.”

As he spoke, he put the first slide up on the screen. There were going to be a lot of this today, hope everyone was in the mood to take notes.

Class Activity:

“Okay so that’s everything in a nutshell. As I know lecture ran long today I’m going to give you all a head start on studying for your test next week.”

Walking to the desk, he picked up two stacks of handouts.

“I want you to pair up into groups of no more than four and go over these handouts. They will help refresh your memory on the period of history that I will be drawing the test from. Next week, you will be placed in a position to influence the direction of this historic conflict before it escalates to the point of violence as it did back then. Again, let me stress that you will be managing and resolving the first steps of the escalation of the conflict, not actually participating in any part of the conflict itself.”

Once he finished handing out the papers, he went back to his desk.

“To be clear. You will take the test scenario solo but you can use this time today to talk to your classmates about the historic event and bounce ideas off each other about how you might want to approach this conflict next week. I’m also here in case you have any questions.”

[ooc: For meta purposes please call this the War of the Tulips. I will also tell you now that next week’s test will have a cracky twist to it so that your character won’t actually be dealing with a ‘people’ conflict. Come prepared to talk to flowers. ;)]

[ooc: Please wait for The OCDs are up and ready for your patronage! As always, class notes cribbed from European History Dot Com as well as The Conflict Resolution Information website.]

...and Annette? Did it right back.

This was a great way to pass the afternoon in a conflict management class.

So, because of that, she thought to add to her tongue sticking outness, "Your tongue is longer than mine."

"Iss that a goo' thing?" Luke asked, still sticking his tongue out.

Annette rested her chin in her hand, "I think that might depend on whether or not you are a tongue lover."

Luke turned scarlet. "Buh?"

"Why are you blushing, Luke?" she asks innocently. "I mean, I could imagine that some people just don't like tongues."

Luke looked to be in danger of death by blushing.

"I've never asked," he said in a strangled voice.

"I haven't either. But can you imagine? Some people have really ugly tongues when they stick them out. Not that I think you have an ugly tongue. Your tongue is a tongue even if I think it's long. It's a perfectly long tongue."

"You have a very tongue-y tongue too," Luke told the top of his desk.

Annette leaned down in order to see his face. "Luke?"

Luke's face was doing a killer tomato impression when he finally looked up. "Yes?"

"The tongue thing?" She kind of whispered like. "We don't have to discuss it anymore." As if the conversation had been a joint effort from the get go.

Luke looked absurdly grateful. "Okay," he whispered.
