Here's what I did...

First we discussed this in relation to their own lives.  I asked them if anyone had ever had an arguement with their parents.  They told me their side and I coaxed them into giving me their parents' side too.  I explained (in L1) that even though there is one issue, there are 2 (and sometimes more) perpectives.

They wrote down their own examples in L1 and shared them - very noisily- with a partner.

Then I asked them to retell me the story about the 'dethroning of the kings' from the talk on the Ethiopian immigrant experience (see part 1).  I asked them to get into pairs.  One took the side of the 1st generation immigrants and the other took the side of the 2nd gen.  I asked them to imagine an arguement where the child had disrespected the parent. 

After they did that, they had to swap roles.  We discussed the different perspectives and how it felt to be on each side.

Homework:  I told them to print off a news article from the internet about Kiryat Melachi and distinguish the different perpectives.

Question:  What do you think the pitfalls were?
