Opener:
Read over the History of the Olympic Truce (Resource V) with your class. Ask your students to imagine they are the Delphic Oracle and King Iphitos comes to see them for advice to stop war in Greek kingdoms. Ask them the following questions: • How would you explain to Iphitos that a sporting event and associated truce will work?
• Iphitos is skeptical, what might his reservations be? Teacher/Learner Activity 1: Organising your ‘Sport for Truce‘ sporting event
• Explain Peace One Day’s objective of bringing about a Global Truce on Peace Day 21 September 2012. (For extended talking points, see the ‘opener’ on Lesson 5A: Global Truce 2012)
• Introduce the idea of a ‘Sport for Truce‘ sporting event in school on Peace Day. What does the class hope to achieve?
• Explain and read over Resource K and Resource L with the class. • Facilitate the Action Committee and encourage the students to own the project.
• Students should agree/discuss the objective of the Action Committee,i.e. to organise a ‘Sport for Truce‘ event on Peace Day 21 September.
• Read Resource Y, Sport for Truce Brief, and make sure each student has a role and participates.
• Use Resources W2, K, L and Y to define roles and agree next steps. Teacher/Learner Activity 2: Opening Ceremony Speech
• To help consolidate learning and keep the project focused, ask students to write a short piece (one or two paragraphs) outlining the reason for the class‘s decision to organise a Sport for Truce event to celebrate Peace Day, 21 September and Global Truce 2012.
• As guidance, you may wish to encourage them to think about the following:
• ‘the history of sport (and sports people) as a unifying influence‘ • ‘sport as a catalyst for inter-cultural cooperation‘ • ‘Olympic sports‘ • ‘Truce‘ • ‘communication‘ • ‘teamwork‘ • ‘non-violence’
• The students‘ paragraphs can form the basis for a speech to be made on Peace Day 2011, either as the opening ceremony speech or as a speech to launch the 365-day countdown to the Global truce on Peace Day 2012. It could also inform other written materials such as articles, posters, press releases or letters to parents, press, local olympians, etc. Ask for volunteers to read out their draft Opening Ceremony Speech. • Are any lines particularly inspirational? • All speeches can be passed to the students with responsibility for finalising written materials.
• If time is short, this activity could form the basis of the next lesson. Plenary:
• Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Action Committee. • Did the students stick to their objectives? • Question individual students on how they feel about their participation in the Action Committee.
