We are filming!

This meeting, we worked on podcasts. Filming, that is. Last meeting, our homework was to write scripts for some podacsts. They are really cool! To see them click on the Podcasts tab or on this link: http://justkiddingjusthurts.blogspot.com/p/our-podcasts.html That is all for now!

Always Busy!

Wow, are we busy-bodies!  We are always working on new and different things.  Today alone our troop tried to nail down two different presenting opportunities.  That means two emails, lots of planning, and lots of writing scripts.  But that's just us... always running around, working on something!

Presentation Update

We finished a plan of our pro-peace workshop; it's pretty cool.  We've set it up like it's in steps, and they're pretty vague.  As of right now, this script is just a skeleton, which we're going to build off of.  We estimate that this workshop would take between 45 minutes to an hour to present.  So, here's our draft...
1.) Introduce ourselves and our mission.
2.) Split the kids into groups, and have each group decide what they think peace is.
3.) Read The Peace Book by Todd Parr.  If everyone thought that peace was this simple, wouldn't life be easier?
4.) Split into same groups, and rework their thoughts of peace, after reading The Peace Book.
5.) Move onto team-building activities.  Part of peace is getting along with everyone.  Team-building activites expand your horizons, and help you come together as a group.
6.) Play the human knot.  Relationships can get complicated.  Peace, kindness, and understanding can help straighten them out.  This is what you learned by playing this game today.
7.) Play Stand-Up.  You guys had to rely on each other to help you stand up.  Trust comes from peace and understanding.

So this is the beginning of our presentation.  We think that this script will drive home our message perfectly: teaching peace, kindness, and understanding to all kids, and teaching them how to be peaceful in their everyday lives.
