Conflict Dissection has students identify characters, setting, the problem and its solution in four quadrants; a Problems and Solutions Chart and a Cause-Effect-Consequences chart trace how a conflict's causes lead to its effects; an Internal or External Conflict chart and a four-column Conflict Type Chart classify the nature of the conflict, sorting it as character-versus-character, -nature, -self or -society; and a six-stage Conflict Timeline, an Opposing Forces Comparison, and a Conflict Map walk students through sequencing and mapping the conflict's events toward its resolution.
