WHAT WILL THE
Lesson Assignments
BE?
IDEAS FOR CLASS PROJECTS:
1. Draw your garden of peace. Using 29 Points (Helen). Include flowers, trees, animals, animals, clouds, etc. Draw a picture of what you'd like to see in a garden where you'd like to be. (Define Peace with words and pictures)
2. Draw your Garden of Peace, without using the 29 Points.
3. Discuss and think about all the creatures that live in the tree. Do a drawing of that picture in your mind. There are lots of creatures in trees.
4. Think about all the creatures that live in trees and do that drawing of the creatures at night in their homes in trees.
5. Imagine the most beautiful butterflies. If there was a school for example, Ireland, England, America, butterflies need butterflies. Drawings or paintings of the butterflies you can imagine.
6. Paint your secret garden
7. Imagine a jungle. How would it look? Paint that. There are no rules.
8. Paint a secret island with palms, trees, and all the elements you would like on an island. - Rights
