5C Teacher/Learner Activity 1: DVD and discussion
• Explain to the class that the purpose of this lesson is to identify a class or whole- school activity for Peace Day.
• Ask the class to divide into three or four equal-sized groups. • Hand out Resource GT4: Scoring Sheet, one to each group. • Go through the questions on the worksheet with the class. • You may also wish to hand out Resource GT3: Peace Day Activity Suggestions. • In their groups, ask the students to come up with a shortlist of activities for Peace Day. Activities should only be based on students’ real interests and passions.
• Once each group has a shortlist of ideas from its members, ask them to answer the questions on the worksheet (scoring 1-10) for each idea.
• Ask them to total up the score for each idea and hand in the completed worksheets to you.
Teacher/Learner Activity 2: ‘Peace One Day‘ Brainstorm
Given that students are identifying an activity to be carried out in school or under the school’s auspices on Peace Day, it is essential that the last word rests with you your colleagues, head teacher and so forth, but with genuine input from students. The following process will encourage lively and passionate debate, as well as the need to compromise and take into account a variety of important considerations:
• If you have a white board or chalkboard big enough, draw a replica/oversized worksheet table (Resource GT4), writing down all the ideas and scores from the worksheets or invite a student to do it.
• As each idea is totted up, pause and invite comment from the class. Do they agree with this scoring? Do any of the scores need to be revised for that idea? Can the originators of the idea make it more inclusive so that others score it high?
• For practical reasons, you make the final call on each score. • Once all the totals have been subjected to class discussion and your own quality control, you should have a winning idea, which can be taken forward through the proper channels within the school.
• Of course, you may want to take forward more than one idea. Ultimately, the more activities there are on Peace Day, the better. Ideally, the day would be embraced by the whole school and even the community at large.
• For the future development of the chosen Peace Day activity/activities, use Resource P1: Action Committee Guidelines and Resource P2: Commitment Countdown Diary.
Many of the other lessons in this resource can be adapted and used as a basis for a Peace Day activity.
