Abstract: Simulations have long been the cornerstone of experiential negotiation and conflict resolution education. This book offers a new genre of simulations: scenarios situated within the universes and narrative arcs of popular movies, books, and television series. These simulations bring new levels of excitement, engagement, and motivation to the classroom as students practice decision-making within familiar storylines, negotiating new twists in beloved tales, or settling conflicts between their favorite characters. Each simulation includes all of the required roleplay material as well as a full teaching note for selecting, setting up, conducting, and debriefing the exercise. Barrie Roberts has created special versions of several simulations from the book for use with students who are non-native speakers of English. These versions include explanations, vocabulary assistance, and contextual information that will prove helpful to students speaking English as their second language. These versions are available to download on this page, above.
