Unit 3 – Expressing my worries and locking up my fears: Step 1

Task 1

Analyze a picture

  • Look at this picture, called «The Journey» by Francesca Sanna.
    • How does it make you feel?
    • How do the people in this picture feel?

We all have experienced dark feelings. Fear is one of these dark feelings we all know. We are not always aware of why we are afraid.

Task 2

Think about a situation

  • Take your time and think about a situation where you were scared.
    • What were you afraid of? Draw a picture of the situation.
  • Now think about a kind of situation where you were scared but did not exactly know why you were afraid.
    • Imagine what this fear might look like. Draw a picture of this fear.

Task 3

Show your pictures

Form groups of four and show the two pictures to your colleagues.

  • Each participant guesses which picture shows the known and the unknown fear.
    • Discuss the pictures with your colleagues. In what kind of situations were you afraid and knew why?
    • Describe these situations.
  • In what kind of situations were you afraid without knowing exactly why? Compare these situations with those where you knew the reason.
