"Seven Blunders of the World"
That Lead to Violence
...Plus 6
-
Intro (2 minutes) General intro - Why we are here, what we're
going to do. "Frame" the eClip:
explain it's purpose, offer a focusing
question or suggestion. [Optional: Distribute
printed copies
of the 7 Blunders - with or without the 6
additions, with URL for this Web page]
-
eClip
(4 minutes) Play the
4-min
eClip via YouTube (or choose
another version) or adapt it
and offer your own introduction.
-
Think-Pair-Share
(7 minutes)
NOTE: This section can be usefully
extended if time and interest permit.
Ask participants about additional “blunders” that
would make this list even more
meaningful for them personally or
for their institution. Suggest that they might jot some
notes - but no one will ask to see
those notes. Give about one
minute for this activity.
If time
and flexibility of seating arrangements permit,
urge participants to find two or three
colleagues whom they do not already know at
all – or, at least, whom they do not already
know well - and sit together.
If that is not convenient, ask people to
identify one or two colleagues sitting
nearby for this small group discussion
activity.
Ask these small
groups to discuss
the “blunders” that each person has,
individually, thought about adding.
Notice how similar/different
the suggested additional “blunders”
are from each other.
Try to agree on one or two “blunders” that
you hope others in this meeting
could agree to work toward avoiding.
Identify one member of your small
group to report results.
Give from five
to twenty minutes for this small group
discussion. It is better to cut off
discussion when some groups still want to
continue than to wait until some groups are
obviously finished and getting bored with
waiting. A few minutes before ending
this discussion, remind groups to identify a
"reporter" and agree on what that person
will report.
If time permits
- and there are not too many small groups -
ask each to report ONE "blunder" that the
small group would like others to agree to
add to the list.
OR, if the small group cannot make
such a recommendation, explain why.

Closing:
Report, Summary, Next Steps,
Collect Feedback (5 minutes) Summarize any major
consensus emerging and suggest how to build
on it. Acknowledge any major or
surprising differences of opinion.
Make one or two suggestions (preferably, by
repeating those heard from participants) for
dealing respectfully and usefully
with differences or disagreements.
Make a recommendation about extending what
has been happening in this workshop - or not.
If time is
limited and there are too many groups use
some alternative to having every group
report orally. For examples, give each
group a large post-it sheet and
ask each group to write one proposed
additional blunder their own sheet and to place
it on a wall designated for this
purpose. Allow a few minutes for
everyone to be able to walk by the posted
results and read what others have written.
Perhaps ask for a few people to offer
reactions to what they have just read.
