We finally heard back from someone else, and have set up an official presentation date! We've been working very hard on our kits, but now we're going to shift our focus to getting our presentations ready. Jillian is working on another podcast, which we hope to share with you all soon. It seems like we're finally going to start this project rolling! We're going to be presenting to a group of Daisy Girl Scouts, and we can't wait to teach them all about peace. Hopefully they will take what they learn and use it in their everyday lives.

Activity: Peace Writing Promts
I know writing promts aren't the most exciting activities, but it will have to do. You can comment your piece(s) to this post so that people can see it (if you want to share it).
1) Do you have any personal experiences in which someone said something mean to you and you told them to stop? Or have you stood up to someone for a friend? Describe your experience.
2) Is there any other word you would describe peace as? Explain your answer.
3) Anylyze the word peace. What does it mean? What does it mean to you? Use your own words to describe the word peace.
I will comment my responses soon. But it may take a while, and remember I am not correct. All of these promts have no answer. They all lead into narrative pieces. When you write, just be yourself and don't be afraid to digress. The sky is not the limit. Go into the universe with your writing. Have fun. :) This won't be graded and is totally optional.

Assembling The Kits
Today's meeting was pretty much devoted to assembling the necessary materials for our peace kits. It was an excellent lesson in working together... lots of communication had to happen, to make sure we each knew what the other one was doing! As of right know, we are working on editing and writing the information that will go into our actual kits. Trust me, it's a long process. But all of the information is really meaningful, so it's enjoyable to read. And it's almost as fun to create pro-peace games as it is to play them! We have 172 days until our Silver Award is due, so it's crunch time, baby!
