Different Perspectives: A Graphic Organizer
|
Suggested Grades
|
3+ |
Objective
|
Students will read a text from a number of different perspectives
which will result in a greater understanding of it. This is a good
strategy to use to guide students through multiple readings of a text.
|
Method
|
- Ask students to read through the text you would like them to
study.
After this reading brainstorm with the class the variety of
perspectives the text could be connected to.
eg: An article about urban development could be connected to a
construction worker, the mayor, a citizen, a farmer, etc..
A piece of fiction could be connected to the various characters
involved.
- Split your class up into groups, and ask each group to pick a
perspective and re-read the text from this person's perspective.
- After reading, ask the groups to fill out the "Needs" and the
"Concerns" section of the graphic organizer below.
- Then, ask students to read the text again, looking for specific
statements that would concern the perspective they took, and write
them down on the graphic organizer. Right beside the statement, in
the "Their Reaction" section ask the students to write down the
reaction their perspective would have towards each statement.
- After this is done, ask students to look at the information they
recorded and write out a general summary of the position their
perspective would take on the text.
- Have a class discussion, sharing all the perspectives covered.
