Conflicts, Peace and Stereotypes

On Monday we talked about conflict and peace. We talked about it by looking into magazines and cutting out pictures of conflict and peace. The game we played to get the day going was called Toilet Paper Ice Breaker. The TP Ice Breaker game went like this:

• You were stranded in the woods for three days.

• You had to think about how much toilet paper you might need.

• Then you take it.

What we did not know was that each square of toilet paper you took meant that you had to share a fact about yourself.

On Tuesday we did a scavenger hunt. In the scavenger hunt we had to find common things and use camera basics that we had learned in the past day. Also we talked bout The Community Issues and How We can Solve Them?
For Example:

• The Trash in our community
• Drugs
  
• Violence and Gangs

What we could do to solve those problems are:

• Pick up trash and recycle.
• You can protest, speak your mind or go to city officials
• Organize a peace walk, and protest
