About this MicroSim

Conflict-Resolution Skill Rubric Rater is an interactive MicroSim for this health-education textbook.

Evaluate a scripted conflict-resolution dialogue

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: Evaluate
— rate, critique, justify

Lesson Plan

Audience

This MicroSim is designed for Grades 9-12. For the K-3 bands the teacher typically drives the activity on a shared screen; older students can explore the MicroSim independently.

Learning Objective

Evaluate a scripted conflict-resolution dialogue

This activity targets Bloom's Evaluate
 (rate, critique, justify).

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 Evaluate-level objective rather than a lucky guess.

Specification

Type: infographic

**sim-id:** conflict-resolution-rubric-rater<br/>
**Library:** p5.js<br/>
**Status:** Specified

Bloom Taxonomy: Evaluate<br/>
Bloom Taxonomy Verb: rate, critique, justify

Learning objective: Evaluate a scripted conflict-resolution dialogue
against a four-criterion rubric (stayed on the issue, listened actively,
checked understanding, reached a mutual solution), scoring each criterion
and justifying the score.

Purpose: Move students from simply recalling conflict-resolution steps
(earlier chapter) to judging the quality of an example's execution.

Layout: Left panel shows a short scripted dialogue transcript (selectable
from 3 preset scenarios: roommate/sibling chore conflict, group project
disagreement, friend-group exclusion incident). Right panel shows a
4-row rubric with a 1-4 star rating control per row and a text box for
the learner's justification.

Interactive elements: Selecting a scenario loads its transcript; clicking
each star rating locks in a score; a "Compare to expert rating" button
reveals a model rating with brief reasoning for each criterion so the
learner can check their evaluation against it.

Data to display: Three full transcripts (roughly 8-10 lines of dialogue
each) with one criterion clearly strong and at least one clearly weak, so
ratings are not uniformly high.

Color scheme: Neutral gray transcript panel; gold stars for rating;
green/red highlight comparing learner rating to expert rating after reveal.

Implementation: p5.js with DOM-based text panels layered over canvas
controls, or pure HTML/CSS/JS panel with p5.js star-rating widget.
