Your written presentation is due on Monday 23rd April. You may use Monday to finalise your written presentation but it will mean that you have one less day to organise your class presentation (Power Point) a.

Details of the Class Presentation will be given to you next week but the information you include in your written presentation will be able to be used in your class presentation. No new information will need to be added but you may need to think about how is the most interesting way to present this to the class? What does this Assignment require to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of a conflict? This is both an individual and a group assignment. There are eight (8) elements which you need to include in the written presentation Five (5) can be organised between the group members and the three (3) individual elements will be done separately by each team member.
