In anticipation of Remembrance Day on Monday, we read
the book “Somewhere Today, A Book of Peace”.
The book talks about how each of us can play our part to bring peace to
our families, communities and to the world.
We discussed Ghandi’s quote“You must be the change you wish to see in
the world.” and what we can each do to make the world a better place.
For homework, students have been asked to finish their
paragraph they started in class. They
were asked “What change would you like to see in the world? What will you do to be a world
changer/peace maker?” Some students
shared that they would like bring an end to violence in the world, and will be that change by trying to use words to solve their everyday conflicts.
Other students said they would like to world to be a greener place, and
they would be the change by reducing waste and recycling more often. Another students said they would promote
peace by being kind and respectful to their little brother and sister. In doing so, they hope that there will be
peace in their family and she will a role model of peace to her siblings.
When they are done their draft, they have been asked to
do a self-edit and a peer edit. They can
ask a friend or a family member to help them.
Then they are to publish their paragraph on the “poppy paper”.
