Lesson 6 SMOOTH YOUTH?

1. Work in groups of 3 or 4. Write down three sentences about yourself, one of which is false.

For example:

a) I’m very ambitious.

b) Fm quite a mature person.

c) I’m creative.

Read them to other students, who have to guess which of the statements is false. After everyone has guessed, they read theirs. You have 1 minute for writing.

2. Think about pros and cons (advantages and disadvantages) of the following youth activities and fill in the chart below.

Which of the activities do you think are good for society? Why do you think so? Which of the activities do you support most? Least? Exchange your ideas in class. Be ready to defend your point.

3. Work in groups of 3 or 4. Imagine that you are going to start a volunteering club in your school or community. Create a slogan to attract young people to join your club and present it in class.

4. Look at the picture. What can you say about the children in it? Why are they wearing uniforms? What organization or club can they belong to? What do you know about this organization?

5. Read an extract from the Scout Mission statement. Do you think it can apply to all young people in the world? Do you think you can expand it in some way? If yes, how? … to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.

6. In class, think about a mission statement for youth in the world in general. What is the goal of youth in life? How can this goal be achieved? What values are important for young people to keep to? How can you and your friends personally contribute to the mission?

7. Do you think young people of future (your children and their children) will support the values and the mission you have created?

Write a letter to a future generation telling them what role in society youth must play.
