Teaching Notes Richard Bach's story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull inspired a generation to believe in themselves and reach for impossible dreams...and to be more than just a person who did what everybody else did. Maria Montessori also believed in nurturing spirits and encouraging individuals to be themselves and to develop their own gifts and talents, whatever they might be. This activity begins, perhaps will ignite that same thinking within the minds and hearts of young people who are inspired to be someone different....someone who recognises their purpose and has the courage and determination to fulfill their dreams. Perhaps world peace also relies upon each individual finding their special gifts and talents and actualising them. |
