Seeing Both Sides Answer Key

This worksheet asks students to read a conflict scenario and analyze the situation from both individuals’ perspectives. The conflict involves two classmates preparing for a group presentation and struggling with different work styles. Students answer questions that explore each person’s feelings, the misunderstanding at the center of the conflict, and how empathy can help resolve it. Learners then write a short paragraph explaining how considering multiple viewpoints can change the outcome. This activity strengthens perspective-taking, one of the foundational skills of conflict resolution. It also builds emotional literacy, written communication, and the ability to identify root causes of disagreements.
