Teaching Ideas

I love the contrast of this video from the surroundings at the beginning to the end, also the message it portrays about material things not making you happy.

  • Watch the first 20 seconds, what do you think the picture shows?
  • Watch the first minute, who may this character be? What makes you think this? What clues make you think she is rich?
  • Is she happy with all the fame and wealth she has? What makes you think so?
  • Write about her surroundings at the start, the bright lights, futuristic feel to her house and gadgets she has.
  • What makes her unhappy? 
  • Who is the blue creature? 
  • By the end of the video how is she feeling?
  • Write about her surrounding at the end, the beautiful scenery, nature and simplicity to life.
  • Compare the surroundings at the start and end, which would you prefer and why?
