Step 1: Brainstorming
A flash appreciation
Boys and girls, good morning (good afternoon). Are you in a good mood today? Let’s enjoy a flash together. What kind of sports can you see in the picture? How do you find the flash?
(In the flash, we can see people of different ages take weightlifting exercise and some funny or interesting mistakes or accidents happen during the course of exercise. They make us burst into laughter)
Picture-talking
What are people doing in each picture? How do they feel? (excited, happy, thrilled) What is the definition of happiness? What are the things that make one happy?
Different people have different understanding of happiness. To some people, it means an easy life, a good job, money; to some, it may be helping others, contributions to one’s country......
How do you understand happiness? What are your hobbies? And what do you do when you feel unhappy?
Step 2: Sharing information
Open your books to Page 17. Let’s share information about each picture on this page with each other.
1. Study the six pictures
Picture 1 Being creative
Do you like drawing? When and how did you begin to develop this interest?
What does this hobby bring to you? (Whenever I feel upset and want to escape from everything, I like to go into my bedroom and take up my paints and brushes. It's so wonderful--all my thoughts and ideas can be expressed in my pictures.)
What other things mean 'being creative' to you? (Thinking of different solutions to solve problems, expressing myself in my own ways and making new things.)
