I Believe I Can

• Describe the water – consider the texture, the colours, the shape, the sounds… Try to use some new vocabulary e.g. undulating, fluid
• What is happening here?
• Is the bird walking on the water? How? Why?
• Is this bird special? Can it fly?
• Do you think this is the first time the bird has walked on water?
• The title is ‘I Believe I Can’. If the bird doubted itself, do you think it would still be able to walk across the water?
• How important is self belief?
• Have you ever ‘failed’ because you lacked confidence?
• Have you ever succeeded because you believed you could?
• What does failure feel like? What about success?
• How do you overcome failure?
• Has anyone ever achieved something other people thought to be impossible? What qualities did they have?
