I would like for you to compose a comment with your thoughts and ideas about the following TWO questions.  Remember to write your name, so I know who wrote what!

Question One:
    Introduce us to a person or symbol who represents peace.  If you choose a person, it could be a famous person (singer, entertainer, politician, religious leader, author, ...) or a person you know (student, teacher, family member, ...)  In your comment, tell us the name of the person or symbol, describe what the person or symbol has done to promote peace, and why you chose this.  (Of course you can look for more information online, but be sure to write your comment in your own words)

Question Two:
What can we do to promote peace in our daily lives?  What simple actions can be taken on a daily basis?

Just hit the comment button, post your response, and sign your name!!

Extra Credit:
If you still have time left at the end of class, please go to http://jovenes4ma.motime.com/ and see what English students in Argentina wrote about peace.  Their most recent blog posts/comments are on a very similar topic to ours!  Promote peace--leave them a comment!!
