1. Speak with an elderly person about what has changed since they were a child, and in
particular what has become easier. Write a newspaper article on your interview or convert
your interview into a story or picture.
2. Undertake some research to find something that inspires you to think more deeply about
gratitude. You could look for quotes, song lyrics, events, stories, poems or pictures.
Prepare a presentation about what you found and why it made you think more deeply about
gratitude and what you discovered when you did think more deeply about it.
If you prefer, you can use one of the following as your inspiration:
“I was complaining that I had no shoes till I met a man who had no feet” (Confucius)
“But he who kisses the Joy as it flies, Lives in eternity’s sunrise” (William Blake)
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, it is the parent of all others” (Cicero)
The lyrics to “What a wonderful world” by Louis Armstrong
The lyrics to “Always look on the bright side of life” from Monty Python’s The Life of Brian
