In this lesson, we talked about change. From childhood to adulthood, everyone undergoes changes.
Why do you think the changes happen
Are the changes in yourself good or not
What’s your attitude about the changes Can you accept them
Thinking
Every change is an opportunity for growth! Embrace the change!
Some things may change but some things may stay the same as we grow up. Watch a video. Think about the things that didn’t change as you grow up. Then share with your classmates.
Homework
Think of a friend, sibling, or classmate who has changed over time. Write a few sentences to describe how he / she looked and acted in the past and at present. Finish by saying what these changes might mean about growing up.
When I met Mark in elementary school, he was a quiet kid who loved reading comic books. He used to wear simple clothes and barely spoke in class. Now, Mark has become more outgoing, joining the debate club and wearing stylish clothes. His change shows how people can grow out of their shells and discover new interests as they get older.
