Introducing the lesson: Present relevant background information, the purpose of the lesson, and the learning objectives. Hand out Resource T, which contains UN General Assembly Resolution 55/282.
Ask three volunteers to each read one of the three operative paragraphs, those beginning ‘Decides,’ ‘Declares’ and ‘Invites.’ The Resolution can also be found on the website
www.peaceoneday.org
Teacher/Learner Activity 1 – ‘Uniting Nations’ Webpage:
• Distribute Resource H1 and Resource H2 to all students. • Read Resource H1 with the class. This will introduce the United Nations. • Divide students into pairs. Using Resource H2, they should then begin to create a webpage. To assist with this, they can also visit
www.un.org/aboutun/untoday and
www.peaceoneday.org
• Have students share the progress of their webpages with the class. Reflection/Ideas to Discuss: chapter 3/4 Have students consider and respond to the following questions.
• What is the role of the United Nations? • What powers does the UN have? • What is the General Assembly? What does it do? • What is a United Nations General Assembly Resolution? • What is the Security Council? What does it do? • What is the role of the Secretary-General? • If your school is involved with Model United Nations (MUN), you may wish to propose and debate a national observance of Peace Day, or find an alternative way to incorporate Peace Day into a MUN conference.
• Why was it important for Jeremy to establish a Peace Day through the United Nations?
• Watch the scene where Ahmad Fawzi says, “The cynics will say, ‘Ah, Jeremy Gilley, the tree hugger. Crazy man, has crazy ideas… World peace, gimme a break.’” What is Jeremy’s response?
The video on the right-hand side below is an extract from a meeting between Jeremy and Terje R∅d-Larsen, the UN’s chief negotiator in the Middle East. This video supports the final question on Resource H2 – Making a UN Webpage.
