As the students came in and settled down in to class, Wilson looked up and managed a half smile before he pushed away from the desk and grabbed a stack of handouts.

“Good morning.”

Walking through the rows, he laid out the handouts.



Lecture:

“Today we’re going to be discussing Mediation. Now I don’t want to spend all our time taking notes, so I’ve worked up this handout for you so you can follow along while I hit the highlights but please be aware that all of this material has the potential to show up on your next test.”

Never hurt to give that warning!

“Okay, let’s all start at the top.”

Flipping on the overhead, Wilson began to work his way through the various sections on the handout. He gave particular emphasis to the mediation process but also paused to touch on making a career out of being a mediator and also the ethical responsibilities of being a mediator. As he’d warned he powered through the information so that there was plenty of time left for the class exercise.

Class Activity:

“All right so, today we’re going to get some practice in at being a mediator. I’ve broken you all in to groups of three, two sides of a conflict and a mediator. You can choose within your group who gets to be the mediator but I want an essay from all three of you about what sort of challenges the mediator faced and how they resolved the conflict. Everybody clear on that? Okay, here are your groups.”

Group 1
Lana Lang
Prue Halliwell
Teyla Emmagan

Group 2
Chris Halliwell
Beauty Huston
Sky Tate

Group 3
Gwynn Hood
Clair Bennet
Dr. Wilson

[ooc: I know we all have varying amounts of availability. If you don’t have all three members of your group being active, try to focus on the mediator RP side of things. You all have all week to fiddle with this. :)]
