Learning to learn
The Blue Bird is a typical full-length play, which means it has several acts and each act is composed of several scenes. The whole play depicts actions that take place over a long period of time. Various characters appear in different acts and scenes, and the settings and costumes change accordingly. The running time of a full-length play can last for several hours, even days.

Intensive reading
3. What does the author want to express by making the Blue Bird fly away at the end of the play
One possible version:
By making the Blue Bird fly away at the end of the play, the author wants to tell us great happiness is not based on material things, but a more meaningful, spiritual joy and that giving and sharing sometimes mean the true happiness.
Intensive reading
4. What different life lessons can you learn from the two reading passages in this unit
From the first reading passage Tuesdays with Morrie, I have learnt that we should appreciate what we have and make the most of each day; it’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own dreams; love each other as much as we could.
From the second reading passage the Blue Bird I’ve got that great happiness is not based on material things, but a more meaningful, spiritual joy.
