Walden University Conflict Resolution Context and Pretext Presentation

Using APA Style, In order to do the powerpoint slides you have to read the book chapters (5,6,7) I attach here.

In each powerpoint slide put a summary in the add note what each slide powerpoint is about.

1. Preparation.

a) Read the assigned required material (material). Identify the author’s main argument or overall point, the overall question the author’s main argument answers, the reasons and evidence the author gives to support their argument, and the aspect of conflict (or violence, conflict resolution or peace) that is the author’s focus.

A good way of addressing these main elements of a text is to ask questions and jot down answers. For example, ask: What does the author argue in this chapter book? What overall question is the author’s argument responding to? What reasons and evidence does the author give to support their main argument? What specific thing about conflict (violence, peace, conflict resolution, etc) does the author focus on or highlight? What is the purpose of each section? What does the author want the reader to know and understand well?

b) State your position clearly and concisely. What do you say in response to the author? Demonstrate your ability to read, reflect and contribute a thoughtful response. Your answer may be either one of the following: “I agree that/with….”; “I disagree that/with…….”; “I agree that….., however, I disagree that_____.” It is not enough to merely agree or disagree. Support your answer with one good reason.

2. Finally pose ONE good question. Yes, several questions come up as you read and worked on the assignment. Please note them down. However, notice you do not have much time and you do not want to overwhelm your audience with so many questions or throw them off! So, please look at the many questions you had and select one that is clear, brief (not long winded) and compelling. Tell your audience why you think it is important for them to consider or worth discussing. You can always return to what you wanted to explain in greater detail during the Q&A.

On the matter of a good question. Learning to pose a good question is an important conflict resolution skill.
