Four Types of conflict Foldable • Label each piece of the foldable with conflict type and either Internal or External. Example: External Man vs. Man • Cut out each piece separately, being careful to leave the tab on. • Place all pieces into the notebook so that the points of the triangle meet up. Then glue each tab only down so that all pieces swing open at the middle. • Write notes onto notebook paper under the tabs. Outline the center in color as you are filling in notes.
