Good evening BOOST students! I hope you gained better insight on the importance our new NYC landmark the World Trade Memorial.  If you haven't done so already you should look online to see how the towers actually looked and it will give you a clearer frame of reference on the significance of the North and South Pools that we visited.

Your task for this week is as follows and is due on or before Friday 3/9 to both our blogspot and emailed to your assigned teacher.  Our theme for BOOST is Peacemakers Then and Now.  We have visited the U.N. and the World Trade Memorial and you have learned the history behind both places.
Part I
 What is your definition of the word peace? In your own words discuss how both of these places are examples of symbols of peace. Include your thoughts and feelings about seeing the acutal spot where the towers stood, the names of the people who died on that day as well as those in the 1993 bombing attack.  What were your thoughts and feelings about this experience? What do youthink the continioust flow of water represents? Also, think about the roles the U.N. plays in maintaining peace across the world. Be insightful.
Part II
 Also, think through the lens of a United Nations peacekeeper and you have scheduled a meeting with children from various countries who are interested in world peace. The topic of the meeting is to develop a plan for peaceful relations among the countries. How will you go about creating peace among all nations? Think carefully and crictically.
