Today, one of the most recognizable symbols in the world is the peace symbol. Whether it's the circle with the upside down Y in it or two fingers held up in a V, people everyone recognize this symbol. In this one time class, we will learn about various peace symbols through out history, from the olive branch, the dove, the rainbow, the V symbol, and the easily recognizable peace sign. We will examine their origins, how they have been used throughout history in various cultures, and take a look at how they are interpreted today.

Many peace symbols came about during moments of conflict or protest. All discussions will be held at an age appropriate level. There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own.
