What We Did Today
Hello!
EQ: If you were standing in front of the real Lennon Wall how would you sign it? What is your legacy?
Essential Skills: Reflect on how past historical events continue to influence and shape modern society.
I can: Express my ideas and send a positive message.
Agenda: The Lennon Wall
The Lennon started out as a place of protest against the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Without freedom of speech, people used the wall to voice their opposition to the government but also to express their desire for basic freedoms and rights. Today, it stands as a tribute to John Lennon (of Beatles fame) and for global hope of a better future.
I visited and signed the wall in 2008…
The Lennon Wall is constantly changing as new layers of paint and art are added each year by thousands of people from around the world. Today’s wall looks totally different from when I saw it!
The Wall as of May 2015:
Grab a piece of drawing paper and create a piece of artwork for our Lennon Wall. See below for ideas and guidelines:
Just like the real wall, our wall will change. Last year’s pieces will come down as this year’s pieces go up. Keep an eye on the wall as it changes to represent you and your class. 🙂
What To Do Tonight:
Work on your Lennon Wall piece. I will accept them through May 26th.
