Skit Presentation Guidelines

SOC71380 Conflict Management

30% of Final Grade- 10% per Skit
Part 1 Group Skits:

Groups will consist of 3-4 people

Each skit presentation will be comprised of two separate skits. As
the course progresses, your skits must be longer to accommodate
complexity (more course content)
The first skit will indicate the incorrect way of managing conflict,
while the other will demonstrate a more correct way of managing
conflict
You will choose a relevant course related issue. In addition to
focusing on one core issue, you will add complexity by adding as
many other conflict topics/themes/ideas as you can
Props and visuals (images on the screen and/or board are highly
encouraged

Skit #1 (due week 3) will consist of 2 skits of 3-4 minutes each

Skit #2 (due week 9) will consist of 2 skits of 5-7 minutes for each
Skit #3 (due week 11) will consist of 2 skits of 7-10 minutes for
each

There will be five (5) segments to your presentation:

1. Introduction: You will formally introduce your skit. Describe all
of the concepts you have included in the skit, introduce the
setting, roles of each individual, and any other pertinent
background information
2. Sub-Skit #1: The incorrect way to handle a conflict
3. Debrief #1: Debrief what we saw and introduce us to what we
are about to see
4. Sub-skit #2: The Correct way to handle the same situation. Try
not to change all of the elements of your first presentation.
Keep some bad behaviour and change the behaviour of one or
two people to show how a small change can positively effect a
conflict situation
5. Debrief #2/Conclusion: Explain why the second skit was more
effective and the better way to handle the conflict

Part 2 Written Academic Analysis:

An individual written academic analysis to be handed in BEFORE

your presentation
The academic analysis must include:
1. An introduction and conclusion
2. Proper defining and proper APA referencing
3. Additional sources are also encouraged to support your
analysis

4. All terms we study in class are considered key academic

terms. For example, avoidance, stonewalling, inflexibility,
unforgiveness, collaborating. If you are talking about how you
used collaborating in your skit, you first must define and
reference the term collaborating before you can go on
analyzing it
Minimum of 5 themes in your first analysis
Minimum of 10 themes in your second analysis
Minimum of 15 themes in your third analysis that draws content
from every chapter/lesson we have studied this term
