After reading the Diplomacy story called “Ted's Use of Diplomacy Saved the Day,” students will take part in a variety of follow-up activities to enhance the learning experience. Here is a story scenario you can use to help teach about the need to be diplomatic with the other kids at school. Ted asked to join the pick-up basketball game before school. When a jock named Matt refused to let him join, Ted went over to one of his friends and complainingly called Matt a name. That began a chain reaction where Ted got himself into hot water with a few kids at school. Will Ted manage to find a way to fix the problem before his day gets any worse?
