Grade 2

How We Organize Ourselves

by Ibu Melia Susanti

In Unit 1, the Grade 2 students explored the idea of how understanding perspectives helps improve relationships within communities. They learned about the concepts of people’s different perspectives, the challenges in relationships and the roles of conflict resolution.

For the past seven weeks, the students were exposed to the idea of relationships, conflicts, perspectives, conflict starters and stoppers through various simulations, activities and role plays presented by both teachers and students. These activities allow the students to understand and experience different people’s perspectives and how they can lead to conflict at times.

For summative assessment, the students worked in groups. Each group planned a skit about a conflict. They planned what characters were in the skit, how the conflict started and what props they needed. After finishing the plan, they practiced and then performed the skit in front of other groups and teachers. Following that, each student reflected on their group skit. They reflected on the conflict starter and how they could prevent the conflict.
