AFTER WATCHING ACTIVITIES
8.6 In this scene Knox declares his love to Chris. He?s quite funny and charming.The question is :how to declare your love in order to get a positive answer?Here you find some suggestions, ?rules?, quotes and strategies.Which is , according to you, the best way to declare and obtain one?s love? Add some more advice and write a love declaration( better if funny) to an imaginary boy/girl. Work in pairs if you want. You may fall on your knees and read a love poem in a loud voice. You can glue your printed love declaration all around. You can use words of love said in privacy or whispered in the ear. You may appeal to people around telling her (or maybe him) about your feeling. Try to get a little bit closer to your object, to learn more about him or her in order to understand what he or she feels. You have to be sure that you have the reciprocity. The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; in a girl boldness. (Victor Hugo) Love declaration.
