Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Begin by asking students if they know what “truth” and “reconciliation” means.
2. Briefly explain:
   • Truth: Being honest about what happened.
   • Reconciliation: Finding a way to make peace or fix a problem after a disagreement.
3. Emphasize that sometimes people need to talk about their feelings to make things better.

Discussion (10 minutes)

1. Engage the class in a discussion about conflicts they might experience with friends or family.
2. Ask:
   • How do we feel when we argue?
   • What can we do to forgive each other and move forward?
3. Let students share their thoughts as a class, focusing on how honesty and forgiveness help build better relationships.

Writing Activity (10 minutes)

1. Distribute printed writing prompt cards to each student. The prompt is:
   • “Write a short story about a time when you had a disagreement with a friend. What happened, how did you feel, and what did you do to make up?”
2. Instruct the students to take a moment to think about their story, then write for the next 10 minutes. Encourage them to use descriptive words to explain their feelings.

Sharing (5 minutes)

1. Invite a few volunteers to share their stories with the class.
2. After each story, ask the other students to provide positive feedback and suggestions for resolving conflicts.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

1. Summarize the importance of truth and reconciliation in friendships and communities.
2. Remind students that sharing feelings and being honest can help fix problems and strengthen relationships.

Homework Assignment

Task:
Write a letter to a friend explaining how to resolve a conflict peacefully. Your letter should include:

1. A description of the conflict.
2. How you felt.
3. Suggestions on how you can work together to make things better.

Due Date

• The homework will be due on the next school day.

Example Solution:

Dear [Friend’s Name],

I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to talk about when we had our disagreement last week at the playground. I felt really sad when we argued and didn’t play together. I miss having fun with you!

To make things better, I think we can talk about what happened. We can listen to each other’s feelings, and then maybe we can both apologize and promise to play nice. Let's try to share our toys and take turns next time. 

I really value our friendship and want to fix this.

Best,  
[Your Name]

This lesson plan aims to help students not only practice their writing skills but also understand deeper values concerning honesty, empathy, and resolution in relationships.
