Procedure

1. Warm-up

Ex.1 p.80

Listen, read and discuss if it is really necessary to dare be the best you can.

Dare Be

When a new day begins, dare smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare keep going.

When times are tough, dare be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare love again.

When someone is hurting, dare help them heal.

When another is lost, dare help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with others, dare make them smile.

When you feel great, dare help someone else feel great, too.

When the day has ended, dare feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare be the best you —

At all times, dare be!
