After the Assembly

The primary lesson plan intended as a post-assembly discussion is this in-classroom Lesson which can help the dynamics of how peers treat each other. Beyond that emphasis here are ideas for responding to the "Buzz" while your students await their turn at someone facilitating the "Lesson" in their class. Several students will have received popcorn or similar snack during the program. It is an ideal time to ask the full class to discuss how they felt upon seeing the discrepancies in world food supplies.

Also, since not all students get to stand on the world map, link the feelings of non-recipients to those of the have-not Countries. What feelings and what ideas do the students have on what to do with the popcorn? How can they use this event to have a more peaceful school campus? Is conflict management through student mediation a process which can be brought to or strengthened at your school?

If your class did the pre-assembly activities, a follow-up discussion on their strategies for making friends is particularly interesting. Was there a shift in student perceptions on how widely or narrowly students identify similarities in others? Did students shift their beliefs as to what things are important for promoting peace in how they accept each other? This wording is encouraged so as to avoid discussions that might parrot or reinforce racially divisive opinions.

My feedback to date is that even preschool children remembered some of the photographs while grade school students were stimulated in new thought. At the other end, some high school students began asking about community service options for themselves.
