  1. A. Think privately of a recent occasion when you felt proud. B. Continue thinking about: what exactly made you feel proud how different the feeling was from other feelings, such as embarrassment, anger or boredom 3. what difference that feeling of pride has made to you C. Then, share your thoughts about 1, 2 and 3 with a talking partner. Feeling Proud - examples

  2. As a whole group, explore the differences between the causes of the pride, i.e. the ‘things’ that made people proud. e.g. Were they ‘planned’ or ‘unexpected’? Were they ‘private’ or ‘public’? B. Next, try to find similarities between the causes e.g. Were they all ‘achievements’? (Try to consider lots of examples.) C. Then see if you can agree an answer to the question: Can feeling proud have many sorts of causes, or just a few? Feeling Proud - causes

  3. As a wholegroup, focussing your attention on the feelings themselves, discuss : where (in the body) do people have the feeling (or emotion) of pride? 2. where do people have the feeling / emotion of embarrassment? 3. how ‘comfortable’ are these two feelings? 4. how ‘powerful’ can they be? (Try to find differentexamples.) Proud – the feeling

  4. As a whole group, keeping focussed on actual / physical feelings (and not what caused them), discuss: 1. Where else in the body do people feel other emotions? (Try to give examples.) 2. Can two different emotions involve the same physical feelings? (Try to give examples.) 3. Is an emotion just a physical feeling, or something more? 4. What definition might there be of ‘feeling proud’? Feeling Proud – the emotion

  5. As a whole group, now focus on the results of the feelings, and discuss: 1. how different were these? e.g. what different sorts of things did people do? - jump for joy? run to tell someone? 2. can the feeling of pride make someone think: ‘It’s good to be me’? (If so, explain how.) 3. can pursuing the feeling of pride make people behave differently from those who ‘aren’t bothered’? (If so, explore whether that is always a good thing.) Feeling Proud - results

  6. Think quietly of a recent occasion when you thought someone was boasting. B. Continue thinking about: 1. whether they had anything at all to boast about 2. if not, what you think made them behave as they did 3. or, if so, whether boasting could ever be okay C. Then, share your thoughts about 1, 2 and 3 with a talking partner. Being Boastful

  7. As a whole group, discuss: Is boasting more often about what you have, or about what you have done? 2. If you have done something praiseworthy, could you end up being boastful, as well as proud, about it? 3. What exactly would you say boasting is? 4. What is the difference between ‘celebrating’ something and ‘boasting’ about it? 5. How can people learn to celebrate without boasting? Being Boastful
