Talk To Me Lesson Thirteen Using Language to Solve a Problem Produced by the Riverina Schools Project Partnership, 2009
Talk to Me • In our last lesson we talked about how to check that your message is getting across. • Who can remember some of the things we talked about? • Today we are going to talk about how to stop fights happening by using language.
Using language to get along • Sometimes people do not agree. • When this happens, some people can get angry because they aren’t getting their own way. • If one person gets angry, then the other person can get angry. • This can lead to a fight.
How to Solve a Problem • Instead of pushing or fighting to get your way, you should tell the person why you think you are right. • If someone comes up to you and starts a fight you should say: • “Excuse me, but why did you do that?” • OR • Can you please stop that. It’s not very nice.
You should use language to talk to them rather than hurting them to make them stop. • If the person does not stop when you ask them to, you should tell the teacher. • When you use words to stop problems from happening then everyone feels good and no one gets hurt.
How can the children on the floor stop this problem? • Let’s brainstorm some things the children could say to the boy to make him stop.

Activity • Look at the picture of ‘Danger Island’. • You are going on an adventure to find the hidden treasure. Along the way, you run into three problems. • You must use what we have talked about to solve the problems. • Write a sentence about how you would solve the problem. • Colour in the map when you have finished writing.
