How to use this Lesson and Graphic Organizer for Teaching Types of Conflict:
Are you looking for ways to incorporate students’ favorite movies into your English Language Arts curriculum? This activity will engage students in popular culture while exploring the four types of literary conflict: person vs. person, person vs. self, person vs. society, and person vs. nature.
You can begin this lesson with the Types of Conflict Informational Handout. This handout defines each of the types of conflict in literature using literary terms (protagonist, antagonist, symbolism). Students are prompted to consider an example for each type of literary conflict; they can think of a story, film, or even a real-life situation that demonstrates each type of conflict.
Once students have made a connection between their prior knowledge and each type of conflict, they are ready to start examining their favorite movie trailers. The informational handout explains that conflict is represented in essentially every narrative. Because of this, you can apply this activity to any movie trailer. This is because most movie trailers will allude to the literary conflict within the plotline of the film because conflict is also the "buy-in" for the audience.
The Identifying Conflict in Movie Trailers Graphic Organizer will prompt students to organize the information presented in the film trailer. This worksheet will scaffold questions that students can ask themselves to determine the type of literary conflict presented in a plotline of a story.

This was straightforward and easy to use. I (and my students) liked that each sheet wasn't overwhelming, and that they were able to use their own experience of film to identify the conflict types. Much appreciated.
