Thinking From Another Perspective
Videos that encourage students to take an unexpected point of view.
We'll take two seemingly unrelated pieces of content (say volcanoes and the human body) and then build analogies to connect the two ideas. In the end, students can create a skit, comic, or story relating the two concepts.
In this video, we introduce the 👓 Multiple Perspectives prompt of Depth and Complexity.
Sure, students might know the difference between a producer and a consumer… but have they considered how they feel about each other? What, in a producer's opinion, are the pros and cons of a consumer?
What if Kylo Ren wrote a love letter to Abe Lincoln or the Sahara Desert wrote one to the Moon?
Imagine that Poetry and Prose meet for the first time at a party? What would they say to each other? How would they feel? In this video, I guide kids through the process of writing a script in which these two forms of writing interact.
How would people with two different perspectives discuss a decision from history?
