Introduce the slide deck by explaining the concept of compromise as the art of finding middle ground in negotiations. Highlight real-world applications and explain how compromise is essential in resolving conflicts. Mention that the visuals in the slides will help illustrate these points with examples.

Discuss common challenges in reaching compromise, such as stubbornness, fear of loss, or miscommunication. Provide questions to encourage students to reflect on why compromise might be difficult in various situations.

Present examples of successful compromise from historical events or everyday life. Encourage class participation by asking students to share their own examples of when compromise led to positive outcomes.

Summarize key strategies for effective negotiation and compromise: active listening, empathy, and the willingness to give a little to reach a fair middle ground. Invite students to think about how they can apply these strategies during role-plays.

Wrap up the slide deck by inviting questions and reflection. Provide talking points on how these concepts will be used during the in-class peace talks simulation. Encourage students to ponder their role in making peace talks a success.
