Peace to the world!

After the principal told me about the project, we immediately decided to show it to the pupils. We started a dicussion on the state of the world and talked about what messages of peace they would like to send out. During the next couple of days, pupils kept coming up with new messages. I told them to write down all of them and to think about how they would like to present them. Among themselves they chose their favourite messages, decided who and in what way will present them and soon enough they had a final script. With the help of their English teacher Ms Katija Peric, who corrected written and spoken mistakes and their computer science teacher Ms Antonela Gudic who provided technical support, we ended up with a short and sweet show.
