Grade 6

Personal development

Module 13

Negotiation and mediation skills

By means of role-playing in the peer group assignment, learners have already been familiarised with negotiation as a means to reach peaceful solutions.

Here we have a number of concepts – mostly from the political world – describing various forms of negotiation:

  • Ubuntu
  • Détente
  • Negotiations
  • Discussions
  • Mediation
  • Brainstorming
  • Indaba

Activity 1:

To design a poster that portrays the meaning of a negotiation concept

[lo 3.4]

Group Assignment

Each group is given one concept to research. It might be a good idea to start with a dictionary. At the end of the assignment, each group designs a poster containing the word and its meaning. Try to find one example from our country’s political history (consult newspapers and the Internet). Newspaper photographs should also help you to enhance your understanding of a particular concept. Each group leader takes a turn to explain his/her poster to the rest of the class.

Successful self-management:

The concept of self-management means taking responsibility for yourself, and leading a healthy and balanced lifestyle so that you can enjoy a happy and healthy youth.

Effective time-management is very important. It means allowing enough time to occupy yourself with various activities and in such a way that you can speak of a “balanced” programme.

Activity 2:

To fill in a table on self-management

[lo 3.5]

Individual Assignment

How much time (hours or minutes) per day do you devote to each of the following?

  1. Using a different coloured ink or colour pencil, write down how much time you should spend on each activity. If there are big differences, talk to the teacher or your parents to see if you cannot manage your time more effectively. If you have filled in 0 minutes in any of the spaces, you should think twice, and ask somebody’s advice.
  2. Compare your table to that of a friend, and discuss the differences in your time allocation.

Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
