The lesson “Hope for the Future” teaches children about self and social awareness, assuming personal responsibility and Biblical obligations, and how those tasks relate to hopes and dreams for the future. Children will state their specific hopes and dreams for the future and then reasons why those dreams will be realized. Each child will name at least three obstacles that may present a challenge, but also verbalize the importance of committing his or her dreams to the Lord. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the tenth lesson in the 1st year Core Curriculum and part of the “Self-Awareness” unit.
