Big Idea Web Quest Introduction Have you ever had an argument with someone? Some arguments are caused because people have different opinions about a topic. Each person tries to convince the other of his or her opinion. Have you ever tried to convince someone that your opinion was right? Was there a conflict? If so, how did you go about resolving the conflict? In this exercise, you will read about peer mediation and resolving conflict. Then you will write about a conflict from your own experience, the cause of the conflict, and the way you resolved the conflict.

Go to the website and read the articles under Peer Mediation http://www.studygs.net/peermed.htm
