Standard(s): 3a, 3b, 3c, 4b Materials: Book: __What does Peace Feel Like?__ by V. Radunsky Time: 45/60 minutes Goals: Students will establish what peace means to them at different levels: What is peace at school, in the classroom, personally, in the family, in the world. Students will demonstrate awareness of other people’s emotions, perspectives and a respect for human dignity and differences through literature and others’ perceptions of peace. Students will consider how to peacefully contribute to their community. Describe Lesson Steps: Lesson 4: What does peace feel like? Part II Gathering Circle: Lay the Peace Collage on the floor in the center of the circle. Students point to one picture in one of the 5 senses on the collage and share why it represents that sense to them. Activity: Each student writes one sense on a Post-It Note. Designate 5 corners in the room to one of the senses. Students go to the corner of the sense written on their Post-It Note. Students are now in five (uneven numbered) groups for this activity. (If you want even numbered groups, you would need to plan a different way to sort students). Each group either makes up a song, poem, or role-play representing peace in that sense. Activity/Assessment(s): Each group shares their song, poem, or role-play to the rest of the class. Students can share what they learned / saw from the other groups. Close with a song: __All Together__, Dr. Becky Bailey.
