Studying themes of war and peace can be an effective way to engage students in literature, history, current events and more, including their own attitudes and behaviors. On Monday, May 30, at 9pm WGBY broadcasts TED Talks: War and Peace by those who have experienced war and can best teach us how war effects everyone.
In addition to these short, extraordinary, and passionate talks and performances by fighters, journalists, psychologists and others, you’ll find a wide and deep range of resources when searching PBS LearningMedia for subjects such as “war and peace,” “war” and “peace” — so many resources that you’ll want to filter by grade, specific content area and resource type to find powerful material for your classrooms on these all-important subjects.
