Song: Everything I Own

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew,
Were all the years I had with you

And I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again

You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you

 Is there someone you know,
Your loving them so,
But taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away,
And they don't hear the words you long to say

Teacher: So if we talk about good deeds we must not forget about people who donated a lot of money for charity.  Our next point is projects about these people.

Pupils: pupils show projects about people who are engaged in charity

Teacher: Really, charity is very important in our life. We must help people who are in need because good deeds make our world bright. By the way, do you like films ? Now you will watch one.  Your task is to give the ending of this film using linking phrases.

Linking phrases: by the way, to tell the truth, as for me, I am sure, as far as I am concerned, to sum up.

Pupils: in groups discuss the possible ending of this film

Teacher:  There are many proverbs about good deeds, your home assignment was to develop one of these proverbs.

Pupils: pupils read proverbs and their stories

Teacher: You worked very hard today.  I hope you persuaded one more time that good deeds are important in our life. We must help people in need and be tolerant to them. And I want to finish our lesson with the words: good deeds make our dark world bright, let this world be brighter and brighter.
