About this MicroSim

Conflict Resolution Role-Play Simulator is an interactive MicroSim for this health-education textbook.

Students demonstrate the five-step conflict-resolution process by choosing the best response at each stage of a branching peer conflict scenario.

Use the controls in the panel below the drawing to interact with the model, then talk through what changed and why. The MicroSim is width-responsive and can be embedded in any course page with the iframe shown above.

Bloom's Taxonomy level: Apply (L3) — demonstrate, practice, use

Lesson Plan

Audience

This MicroSim is designed for Grade 5. For the K-3 bands the teacher typically drives the activity on a shared screen; older students can explore the MicroSim independently.

Learning Objective

Students demonstrate the five-step conflict-resolution process by choosing the best response at each stage of a branching peer conflict scenario.

This activity targets Bloom's Apply (L3) (demonstrate, practice, use).

Suggested Use (about 10 minutes)

  1. Warm up (2 min). Ask students what they already know about the topic and let one volunteer describe what they see on the screen.
  2. Model it (3 min). Demonstrate the interaction once, thinking aloud so students hear the reasoning behind each choice.
  3. Guided practice (3 min). Invite students to try the interaction and to predict what will happen before they act.
  4. Discuss (2 min). Ask why the result came out the way it did, connecting the on-screen result back to the learning objective above.

Check for Understanding

Have each student (or pair) explain their result in one sentence, using the vocabulary from this chapter. Look for reasoning that matches the Apply-level objective rather than a lucky guess.

Specification

Type: microsim
**sim-id:** conflict-resolution-role-play-simulator<br/>
**Library:** p5.js<br/>
**Status:** Specified

Bloom Taxonomy: Apply (L3)
Bloom Taxonomy Verb: demonstrate, practice, use

Learning objective: Students demonstrate the five-step conflict-resolution process by choosing the best response at each stage of a branching peer conflict scenario.

Canvas layout: Left (450px) scenario text and current stage; right (200px) 2-3 response choice buttons and a feedback panel showing which conflict-resolution step is in play.

Visual elements: Scenario card (e.g., "Two students both believe they were assigned the same job in a group project and are getting frustrated"); stage indicator showing which of the 5 steps is active (Stay Calm, Say What Happened, Listen, Find a Solution, Follow Through).

Interactive controls: Click a response choice at each stage; "See Result" advances to the next stage with feedback; "Try Again" restarts the same scenario; "New Scenario" loads one of 4 total conflict scenarios (group project, shared recess equipment, sibling chores, seating disagreement).

Default parameters: Scenario 1 loads first, Stage 1 active.

Behavior: Choosing "Take a breath and say 'let's figure this out'" at Stage 1 advances with feedback "Good — staying calm keeps the conflict from getting bigger." Choosing a blaming response shows "This raises tension instead of resolving it — try again."

Instructional Rationale: Apply-level objective, so the simulator has the student practice choosing and sequencing real responses rather than only reading about the steps.

Implementation notes: p5.js; each scenario stored as a branching stage array with choices, correctness flags, and feedback text; track and display which of the 5 steps the student is currently demonstrating.
