expected to complete a set of dialogues with pronouns from the film “Troy” directed by
Wolfgang Peterson.
Catch

In this worksheet, you will be able to:

• evaluate text content, elements, features, and properties using a set

of criteria
• note details
• observe antecedent agreement
• explain how conflicts can be avoided in the family

Charge
What are three things that family members should agree about to avoid conflicts? Write them
below and explain why each helps avoid conflicts.

One of the three things that family members could do to avoid conflicts is agreeing to
negotiate. Usually, our first angry impulse is to push the point that we are right and win the
argument at any cost. Finding a peaceful resolution can be difficult, if not impossible, when both
parties stubbornly stick to their guns. It helps if everyone decides as a family to try listening to
each other and negotiating instead. Another thing that we can do is try to listen. Conflict can
escalate when the people involved are too angry to listen to each other. Misunderstandings fuel
arguments. So, try to stay calm and put your emotions aside. And the last thing we can do for our
family to avoid conflict is work as a team. Once both parties understand the views and feelings of
the other, you can work out a solution together, come up with as many possible solutions as you
can and be willing to compromise.

1. What did you realize about family conflicts in accomplishing this
worksheet?
- I discovered that family conflicts can have far-reaching consequences
and it may draw in other people. This can also happen for a long time
and the longer it gets the less chances of resolving it.
2. What other things about pronouns do you find confusing?
- For me, I would say that identifying what type of pronouns are being used
is what confuses me. Also using the proper pronouns.
