How do we move forward while carrying our "shells"? Watch the animation "The Snail and the Oriole" and listen to the song, then ask students to summarize their own answers based on the insights.
Story One: Hans, a fitter from Frankfurt, Germany, was obsessed with music from a young age. He practiced on a mock keyboard made of steel plates and eventually became a key composer for Hollywood film music. He won an Oscar for "The Lion King."
Story Two: Selma lived a hard life in the desert. Her father wrote to her: "Two men, looking out from the iron bars of their cell, one saw dirt, while the other saw stars." This changed her life.
Story Three: After falling into a dry well, a donkey shook off the sand and dirt from its back, stepping out of the predicament one by one.
Conclusion: Life is a process of moving forward with a "shell" on our backs. No matter how heavy the shell is, we hope students can be like the snail, turning pressure into power to climb the pyramid in their hearts.
