About the Peace One Day U.S.A. Education Resource
The Peace One Day U.S.A. Education Resource provides 19 lesson plans (including two DVD lessons) for exploring issues of peace, nonviolence, and the protection of the environment, with extended projects for Peace Day, September 21. Although we hope that the Peace Day projects in this pack will culminate or commence on September
21, we recognize that the Day usually falls shortly after the beginning of the school year and may present challenges to teachers in terms of preparation schedules. Therefore, we encourage you to see each Peace Day project as a process that can run throughout the year, ideally culminating on September 21.
Introduction
Each lesson is designed to take approximately 1 hour. The lesson plans are broken down into components, including Background for Teachers, Purpose of the Lesson, Lesson Objectives, Teacher/Learner Activities, Reflection/Ideas to Discuss, and Homework. Accompanying resources/worksheets are indicated at the top of each lesson plan under ‘Preparation’ and can be located at the end of the Education Resource, beginning on
page 47. A selection of useful media clips have also been included in many of the lesson plans and there are symbols throughout the resource indicating references to relevant chapters in the feature-length version of The Day After Peace; these chapters can be used to illustrate a particular point being raised or to help students answer questions on accompanying worksheets and follow-up discussions.

we know is precious time. We recommend you show a trailer of The Day After Peace as a starting point.

Guidelines for Your CurriculumAlthough Peace One Day recognizes the significance of individual State Standards within the U.S. educational system, it was felt that the inclusion of state-specific standards in the Peace One Day U.S.A. Education Resource might reduce both the clarity of the lessons and the overall impact of the cross-curricular links that are emphasized throughout the resource. For this reason, the lessons included here refer to National Standards only; however, these references should be read simply as guidelines, and we encourage teachers to adapt lessons to meet the needs of each class.
Various lessons fit well within the frameworks of History/Social Studies, Civics and Government Studies, English/Language Arts, Geography, Environmental Science, Art, Drama, and Music, thus providing a great deal of flexibility regarding the classes in which lessons can be taught. There are many opportunities for project-based activities that rely heavily on students’ participation skills, critical thinking, civic values, and rights and responsibilities, as well as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The National Standard correlations can be found at the start of each lesson.

DVD
RETURN TO CURRICULUM SUPPORT
We suggest that one of the DVD lessons be used as a starting point for all further work that follows in this Education Resource, since the film The Day After Peace provides the most concise, informative, and entertaining introduction to Jeremy Gilley’s journey.
The Day After Peace School Edition DVD contains two classroom-ready versions of the film, running at 32 minutes and 58 minutes, as well as the original feature-length film (with subtitles in the six official languages of the United Nations – Arabic, Chinese [Mandarin], English, French, Russian, and Spanish).
We encourage teachers to use, modify, expand, or reduce elements as they see fit in order to make the Peace One Day U.S.A. Education Resource work within their normal curriculum. We welcome any feedback that might improve the Education Resource in the future.

RETURN TO CURRICULUM SUPPORT
We encourage teachers to use or modify, expand or reduce elements as they see fit – in short, to make the Peace One Day Education Resource their own.
All lessons are classroom ready and require only saving and then photocopying if necessary. However, as with all lesson preparation, extra materials may be needed. Some lessons may need a DVD player or benefit from the technology to play flash video files in the classroom.
We welcome any feedback that might support us to improve the pack for future years and strongly encourage you to complete the feedback form available within this resource.
We have divided the lessons into 4 phases:
Phase 1 Starter lessons 32/58-minute classroom-ready version or original feature- length film The Day After Peace
Phase 2 Single lessonsPhase 3 Pairs of lessonsPhase 4 Projects Guidelines for projects ideally culminating on Peace Day, September 21
Phase 2 lessons can also be extended to contribute to your school’s wider Peace Day activities. Because Peace Day is an annual event, we hope that you will view your school projects for September 21 as ongoing.
Phase 4 lessons are specifically designed to support more substantial Peace Day projects that could involve the local community, parents, the press, etc. Some could take from 5 to 50 hours. There are several from which to choose, and all work well as cross-curricular projects combining National Standards for Civics and Government, History/Social Studies, English/Language Arts, Science, Music, and Art.
