Introducing the lesson: •


• •


Introduce the idea of a whole school project for Peace Day and, if applicable, the notion that the class might like to lead this process within the school. Watch the short film from Sackville School in the UK.


A class discussion could begin by determining how the words Peace One Day (and component letters) could be divided up between the whole school/participating classes.


Each participating class could be allocated a letter and invitations could be made by the class and circu- lated throughout the school, citing a prearranged date and time.


Activity:


On the day of the activity itself, the class (as leaders of the project) could be involved in marking out the words ‘Peace One Day’ on the ground in the designated area, perhaps in chalk. The class could be divided into small groups, each one responsible for marking out a letter. Letter indices could be marked out in advance to simplify the process for students if necessary and ensure an effective, readable final image.


Who will take the photograph? Whose camera will you use? Will you have access to it after the photograph is taken, for the purpose of uploading the images? Perhaps the designated photographer could document the en-


tire process, or even make a film, perhaps a time lapse film.


Reflection/ideas to discuss:


After the project, it might be valuable to dedicate some informal feedback time to allow the class to reflect on and share their thoughts and feelings about the activity. Some discussion points might be: • Cooperation • Teamwork • I can/we can make a difference • Why not connect with schools in other countries and exchange images of your activity?
