Introduction
Teacher asks the following questions to the class
Have the students write about a memorable moment (such as moving, transitioning into high school, going on a first date, etc.) in their life. How old were they? What were their actions and reactions to this moment? How and why did this moment affect/change your life? The teacher could provide an example to model what the students are to do.
Now, invite a few students to share what they wrote. Ask the class to respond to the following question: If you were to live for seventy years, what kinds of stages (moments of transition, moments of change) would you encounter in your lifetime? How many stages could you have? During the discussion, have a scribe write down the responses on the board.
