Introducing the lesson: Present relevant background information, the purpose of the lesson, and the learning objectives.


Teacher/Learner Activity 1 – Organizing your One Day One Goal Soccer Game:


• Hand out Resource T1 and ask various students to read a paragraph each from the fictitious letter about the Christmas Truce. Ask students to think about the following questions while listening to the words. •


Think about the first soldier to stepupandout of the trenches into no-man’s-land.


• • •


What might he have been feeling? What could have happened to him?


Whydo you suppose people still talk about this event almost 100 years later?


• Introduce the idea of a One Day One Goal soccer game, or other sporting event, for Peace Day. What might be some benefits from it?


• Refer to Resource P1 and Resource P2, review, and explain to the class. (The whole class could work together on this, or the class could be broken into Action Committees of 4 or 5.)


• Students should discuss and agree on the objective of the Action Committee (to organize a One Day One Goal activity for 21 September).


• Students should select a chairperson and a minute-taker. • Read over with the students Resource T2, One Day One Goal Brief, and make sure each student has a role and participates.


• Students should write down any tasks they agree to complete. • Students should agree on a date, time, and location for the next meeting. • At the next meeting, students should be prepared to develop and agree on a timeline for the project.


Teacher/Learner Activity 2 – Opening Ceremony Speech:


• To help solidify learning and to keep the project in focus, ask students to write a short piece (one to two paragraphs) outlining the reasons for the class’s decision to organize a One Day One Goal event to celebrate Peace Day.


• As they write, ask students to consider the history of sports (and sports people) as a unifying influence – sports as a catalyst for intercultural cooperation (the 1914 Christmas Truce, the Olympic Truce, communication and teamwork). The paragraphs will form the basis of the actual speech to be made at the One Day One Goal event, and could also be the basis of other written materials such as articles, posters, press releases, or letters to parents and community.


• Ask volunteers to read out their draft Opening Ceremony Speech. Are any lines especially inspirational?


• Keep all the inspirational lines together for later use in preparing the written materials. They can then be given to the students who are responsible for putting the final written materials together.


Reflection/Ideas to Discuss:


• Review and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Action Committee.


• Did the students stick to their objectives? • Ask various students to share their feelings about their participation in the Action Committee.


Review the purpose of the lesson and learning objectives to determine mastery. 47
