The goal is to encourage them to apply the problem-solving steps discussed in class to come up with effective solutions.\n\n### Guidelines for the Activity\n\n1. **Group Division:** Divide the class into small groups of 3-4 students each.

\n2. **Card Distribution:** Provide each group with one Problem Scenario Card.

\n3. **Scenario Analysis:** Have each group read their scenario aloud and identify the problem presented.

\n4. **Apply Problem-Solving Steps:** Each group should:
\n - Identify the problem in detail.
\n - Brainstorm multiple solutions without judgment.
\n - Discuss and select the best solution, outlining their reasoning.
\n - Consider how they might put the solution into action and review potential outcomes.

\n5. **Role-Play or Presentation:** Optionally, groups can role-play their scenario or present their solution to the class.

\n6. **Debrief:** After each presentation, engage the class in a short discussion about what strategies worked well and what could be improved.\n\n

\n### Example Scenario Prompts\n\n- **Scenario 1:** You notice that during group projects, certain team members are often left out of discussions. How can your group use problem-solving skills to ensure fair participation for everyone?\n\n- **Scenario 2:** A school event is being organized, but there is confusion about roles and responsibilities, leading to delays in planning. What steps can your team take to clarify roles and streamline the planning process?\n\n- **Scenario 3:** A misunderstanding arises between friends during a group assignment, causing tension. How can you use effective problem-solving to address the misunderstanding and restore harmony?\n\n

\n\n### Follow-Up Questions\n\n- What was the most challenging part of analyzing the scenario?\n- How did using the problem-solving steps help your group arrive at a solution?\n- What would you do differently if faced with a similar situation in real life?\n\n

How can you communicate effectively to include them?\n- **Scenario 2:** During a disagreement about a classroom task, how can you ensure your point is heard without offending others?\n- **Scenario 3:** A misunderstanding arises during a team activity. What steps can you take to clarify the situation and resolve the conflict?\n\n

\n\n### Follow-Up Questions\n\n- What strategies did you find most effective in ensuring everyone was heard?\n- How did active listening change the outcome of the role play?\n- What challenges did you face when trying to express your thoughts clearly?\n\n

\n\nEncourage students to share their reflections with the class.

\n2. **Card Distribution:** Provide each group with one Problem Scenario Card.

\n3. **Scenario Analysis:** Have each group read their scenario aloud and identify the problem presented.

\n4. **Apply Problem-Solving Steps:** Each group should:
\n - Identify the problem in detail.
\n - Brainstorm multiple solutions without judgment.
\n - Discuss and select the best solution, outlining their reasoning.
\n - Consider how they might put the solution into action and review potential outcomes.

\n5. **Role-Play or Presentation:** Optionally, groups can role-play their scenario or present their solution to the class.

\n6. **Debrief:** After each presentation, engage the class in a short discussion about what strategies worked well and what could be improved.\n\n

\n### Example Scenario Prompts\n\n- **Scenario 1:** You notice that during group projects, certain team members are often left out of discussions. How can your group use problem-solving skills to ensure fair participation for everyone?\n\n- **Scenario 2:** A school event is being organized, but there is confusion about roles and responsibilities, leading to delays in planning. What steps can your team take to clarify roles and streamline the planning process?\n\n- **Scenario 3:** A misunderstanding arises between friends during a group assignment, causing tension. How can you use effective problem-solving to address the misunderstanding and restore harmony?\n\n

\n\n### Follow-Up Questions\n\n- What was the most challenging part of analyzing the scenario?\n- How did using the problem-solving steps help your group arrive at a solution?\n- What would you do differently if faced with a similar situation in real life?\n\n
