Things To Talk About

  • What do you think this quote means?
  • Are all "tracks" long lasting? What will happen to the footsteps in the poster, for example?
  • Are all memories long lasting?
  • Does it matter whether you achieve big things or small things to be remembered?
  • Does it matter who remembers you?
  • You could do a small kind deed today that will be remembered by the recipient for 30 or 40 years time. In the same way, you could say something nasty to someone today that will be remembered for a lifetime. Can you remember any small things done to or for you? How do you feel when you think about them now?
  • Do you want to be famous? Some people have what we call a "burning desire" to be famous. Other people really don't care. Which are you?
  • Do you think that the people we remember today set out to be famous?

Activity and Extension Ideas

  • Go on a nature walk and look for tracks. What can you tell about the animal or bird which has left the tracks you find?
  • Make your own tracks! Try leaving footprints in the sand or the mud, or perhaps get out a roll of plain wallpaper paper and a tray of paint and do some footprint-painting!
  • Paint the proverb onto your footprint painting and make it into a giant poster.
  • Ask an elderly person about their past. Can they remember any good things or bad things that were done to or for them in their childhood? Do they remember someone from long ago fondly? Do they have bad memories of someone from long ago? Do you think other people have the same sort of memories of that person?
  • If you are in a class or a large group, see if you can all collect a "good tracks" memory and a "bad tracks" memory from a relative. Write them down and then read them out to your class and compare notes. Why are people most remembered?
  • Some things that you do in your life will be like the "footsteps in the sand" of the poster. Other things will be lasting, and will be remembered by others. Will you know the difference when you are doing them?
  • Make your own poster of the proverb to display at home or at school.
  • Do a study of 2 or 3 well-known people from history who have left "good tracks" and 2 or 3 people who have left "bad tracks". You could use our famous people notebooking pages. You could do this as a class project, and put your writing up on a notice board.
  • Write a poem using the proverb as the title. You could use worksheet 2 to write out the poem.
  • Have you been inspired by the proverb and your activities about how you would like to lead your own life? Write down your thoughts.
