**__(This discussion should take 20 minutes)__**
 * (Read the given situation aloud to the students (kid getting picked on in school), after done reading ask:) So what would you do in this situation? (Let students think about what they would do for about a minute)
 * Okay, so given the situation that I just read, what would some of you do?
 * Acceptable Student Answer:
 * Be nice.
 * Anything else anyone would like to add? Maybe we could go get a teacher to help the student who is getting picked on, because when something does not seem right who do we go get?
 * Acceptable Student Answer:
 * A teacher!
 * Police Man!
 * My mom!
 * My dad!
 * Very good answers, you are all right! It's important to get someone else to help us if we don't know what to do, but sometimes WE can help the situation too.
 * So keep this little discussion in mind because we'll go back to it later, okay? So can anyone tell me what a problem is?
 * Acceptable Student Answer:
 * Something you can get in trouble with.
 * When you can't figure something else.
 * When you need help.
 * I'm really impressed by you guys, those are all great answers to knowing what a problem is. A problem is when something is HAPPENING to someone or something right? Let's take a look back at our activity we listened to and talked about 2 minutes ago. What is the problem in this situation? Remember what a problem is when thinking about what the answer will be.
 * Student Answer:
 * The one kid is being picked on by the other kid!
 * That is correct. Now to think of this from a different path, if I say that what we could do to help this little boy is to go get a teacher, police officer, or our parents, what am I doing this in situation?
 * Acceptable Student Answer:
 * You went to go get someone.....
 * Good observation, but let's take it one step further, if I have a problem and I do something to CHANGE what is HAPPENING to a person or thing, what am I doing?
 * Student Answer:
 * Well, when we doing something to change what is happening to something or someone, we are being a part of the solution or resolution to the problem. When we are coming up with solutions or resolutions we are trying to solve or help fix or manage the problem that we are faced with.
 * So what is a solution or resolution?
 * Student Answer:
 * A solution and resolution are the same thing and is what we are doing to help or fix the problem!
 * Good answer, that is correct!
 * So now that we know what problem-solution is, is there more than one way to solve a problem?
 * Student Answer:
 * No.
 * Yes.
 * Seems like we have a little debate going on, well there are sometimes in fact more than one way to solve a problem, whereas sometimes there can be only one solution to a problem. So all of you are correct with a yes or no answer.
 * Ask the students once again what a problem and solution is before sending them off to do their assignment.
 * Ask the students once again what a problem and solution is before sending them off to do their assignment.

**__(This activity should take 40 minutes)__**
 * Okay so your assignment today is to come up with 4 original problems in a table graphic organizer, and then you will come up with at least 1 solution for every problem. You are to work on this assignment with a partner to video record, and act out one of your problems and ask at the end, without giving any solutions: What Would You Do? When you are done with that, please upload it to the class YouTube channel, then complete the rubric/checklist.
 * Hand out directions sheet.
 * Also, at the end of this assignment you are going to have this student checklist/rubric to self-evaluate yourselves on. However, you have to explain why you gave yourself that grade or that yes/no met the requirement section. (Hand out rubric/checklist).
