The Peace Wall

Just a quick post about an idea I had in my last Humanities workshop. I think it would be great to have a Peace Wall display in the classroom based on an activity introduced to us in class; Peace and the 5 Senses.

Peace looks like.....
Peace sounds like.....
Peace tastes like......
Peace smells like.....
Peace feels like.....

The Peace and the 5 Senses passage would be the centerpiece of the display wall and students would post up pictures and words or phrases relevant to their own interpretation of what peace means to them.

Another theme wall could be the Team Spirit wall. I think its of absolute importance to establish a learning environment based on respect and compassion. The Team Spirit wall may represent thoughts on how students themselves wish to be treated. Key words may include: respect, trust, encouragement, support, unity, understanding, forgiveness and friendship.
