Finding Common Ground: Learning the Language of Peace

G. Lynn Nelson argues: "Deny me my stories, as the modern, dominant culture does, and I will eventually turn to the language of violence" (43). [...]reading enables students to discover their inner worlds and identities by engaging with and connecting with the lives of fictional characters, by discussing the choices characters make for handling and resolving conflict, and by looking at issues from multiple perspectives. [...]students in a "peaceable classroom" use the power of language rather than the". . . force of fists or weapons of self-destruction to intervene symbolically in violence" (Bruce and Davis 121). [...]on owl shapes, each student wrote a letter to one character in the novel, addressing a specific conflict and how the character handled it. [...]following the intervention, students in the experimental group (M = 2.9, SD = 1.24) were less likely to think they would walk away when seeing a fight start between two other people, compared to students in the control group, (M = 3.5, SD = 1.05), t(60) = -2.12, p = .04, though no difference existed before the intervention.
