oday is a special day for Liz and her class. They have just finished reading a book about how kids lived long ago. After recess, there will be a surprise snack to celebrate. Riiiinnng! “There goes the bell,” yells Bill. “Last one in line is a rotten egg!” Liz runs her fastest to get to the front of the line, but Bill beats her. Liz feels angry. How would you feel? What would you do? Liz STOPS and THINKS. The next thing she does could make the conflict worse. This would be a FOUL. Look at the fouls described on the FOUL card. Do they sound familiar to you? Liz could try one of the FAIR ways to resolve her conflict. Look at the FAIR card. Which one do you think she should try?
Circle the cartoon that shows the best thing you think Liz could do.
Bill! Get the heck out of my way! I’m rst!
I’m going to trip you next time you walk by my desk!
For me it is a pleasure to let you go rst!
The teacher said I should go rst because I have to help her.
Well, she did ask me to collect homework later!
