Today we began reading an age-appropriate summary of Iliad and Odyssey. It will take us two or three class periods to finish reading it at which time students will write an essay about conflict. I introduced the concept of conflict as a problem that arises between two or more people or groups of people. A conflict can also arise between a person and himself/herself.
Conflict is something that has happened throughout history and have characterized change throughout time. Conflicts ranging from wars to simple disputes have shaped history and therefore it is a central theme of my class.
