Steps
-
Have each student choose a sheet of construction paper. Offer them colors that are multicultural, or bright colors, to represent diversity and unity.
-
Have students trace their hand on the construction paper and cut out the shape. Optional: Use the Hand Template included in the project instruction download above.
-
On a large piece of paper or Poster Board on which the teacher has already drawn a peace symbol, ask students to glue their hand-shaped cut outs to complete the symbol. Students may cut more than one hand shape if required to complete the peace symbol.
-
In the empty space around the peace symbol, have each student write a statement about a dream they have for America, what peace means to them or how they can be a part of letting freedom ring.
