Taking on a different perspective

Definition:

Perspective: a particular attitude or way of seeing something. Someone's point of view.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What are some of the reasons why people want to fit in? What are some of the sacrifices people make in order to fit in? Are these sacrifices always worth it?


In order to help us connect to issues in a story, it often helps to take on different points of view.

We are going to use an "enactment" strategy to take on different points of view.

Definition:

Enactment: A dramatic situation where we use our imaginations to learn about a new experience. We often learn more when we bring what we already know (personal knowledge) to a story, or new experience.


Definition:

Monologue: personal writing to express your thoughts and feelings on an idea or issue.
