WALT: Research Peace Activists.
Kia Ora and welcome back to our class blog! For AKO hour at school, our group decided to focus on peace. For those wondering what AKO hour is all about, it's a time set aside whereby we share our learning with the rest of the school as well as the broader community.
During today's blog I will be sharing with you all which peace activist I've chosen to explain to you all how this person influenced peace talks in their country/people. Example while researching peace activists I choose Ron Kovic and here is what I found out about this peace activists:
"72 Year Old Ron Kovic is an American anti-war activist, writer, was former United States Marine Corps Sergeant, and of course is a peace activists, who was wounded and paralysed during the Vietnam War. On January 20, 1968, Ron Kovic was awarded a Purple Heart for his service and courage during the Vietnam War, he was shot in the spine and was paralyzed from waist down."
My group (Lydia, Hiria, Hope) and I (Hevani) all chose one peace activist:
Me - Ron Kovic
Lydia - Nelson Mandela
Hiria - Samantha Smith
Hope - Leymah Gbowee
After explaining how each peace activist lead peace or caused peace to their country we then all added our own meaning of peace at the end of our presentation,
Here is our peace activist presentation:
