Point of View/Perspectives
Overview
This is a lesson to teach and introduce different perspectives or points of view.
Lesson
We will be learning about point of view in today's lesson! You will be learning how to think in someone else's point of view or perspective.
Introduction
We will open this lesson with a short discussion on what perspective means and what a different perspective might look like.
Watch the read aloud to the book, The Tale of Two Beasts and discuss how the point of view changed.
Reading activity
Now that students understand how different perspectives might look like, introduce the text, Ain't I A Woman to them. Read this together as a class the first time, then in small groups a second time.
Activity: Think about how the ideas it describes might feel different from the point of view of someone from a different identity group. After brainstorming this topic with a partner or small group, rewrite the speech from a different speaker’s point of view.
Modification: Students may act out another perspective instead of writing.
