D. PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON
(5mins.)

Our topic for today is a song titled

Imagine, by John Lennon.

Listen to the song for the second time

and try to understand its message.

E. DISCUSSION (10mins.)

Is anyone familiar with that song?

No, maam.
Yes, because it was released from
way back 1975. The singer and song
writer is John Lennon. Does anyone
know him?
His name sounds familiar maam.

He was a singer, a songwriter, and he

co-founded the Beatles. Imagine
was the most successful single off of
John Lennons career.

Anyway, what do you think the title

means? I think it means that we have to think about
it.

What do you think is Lennons vision

of peace?
Everyone is equal?

Yes. Moreover, when there would be

no governments, religion and
possessions. He then lends his idea of
what would happen. No war, hate nor
poverty only peace. I think human
nature would never allow this to
happen. Too many powerful people
would lose said power.

What is your vision of peace?

No wars.
Do you agree with John Lennons
vision of peace? (Varied answers.)
How do you think the world would
be if we all live in peace?
 F. POST-ACTIVITY (10mins.)

Analyze these questions and answer

What kind of world will it be if we all

live in peace?

G. GENERALIZATION

I read somewhere that Lennon once

mentioned that it's not that the world
would be better without religion per
se, but that the world would be a
much happier, healthier place
without this "my-god-is-better-than-
your-god" attitude that many
religious people have. Religion is a
beautiful thing and has helped keep
the world from burning out many
centuries ago.
What he was trying to say is respect
those who are different from you. We
are entitled of our decisions and
choices. Sometimes, your opinion
may be right, but that doesnt mean
that theirs are wrong. Do you get my
point?
The song makes us imagine how the
world would be without
discrimination and without borders.
