This comprehensive resource also includes 20 thought-provoking activities and discussion questions, providing educators with a wealth of tools for extending the lessons of empathy and perspective-taking. From comparative analysis and writing prompts to role-playing exercises and real-world connections, these activities are designed to help students internalize the stories' messages and apply them to their own lives.

Key features of "1 Story, 2 Perspectives":

• 8 engaging short stories, each told from two contrasting viewpoints
• Suitable for students in grades 5-8
• Encourages empathy, critical thinking, and appreciation for diverse perspectives

Una historia, dos perspectivas: explorando la subjetividad y la empatía a través de narrativas de doble perspectiva

Descripción :

Sumérgete en el mundo de la subjetividad y la empatía con "Una historia, dos vistas", una colección única de ocho cuentos, cada uno contado desde dos puntos de vista opuestos. Diseñada para los grados 5 y 4, esta herramienta invita a los lectores a examinar situaciones familiares desde diferentes perspectivas, fomentando la comprensión, la compasión y el pensamiento crítico.

A través de las historias, desarrollarán una mejor comprensión del papel que juegan la personalidad, las prioridades y las experiencias de vida en la percepción del mundo.

¡Pero el aprendizaje no termina con las historias mismas! Este recurso integral también incluye 20 actividades interesantes y preguntas de debate, lo que brinda a los maestros una gran cantidad de herramientas para profundizar las lecciones sobre empatía y toma de perspectiva. Desde análisis comparativos y ejercicios de escritura hasta juegos de roles y conexiones con el mundo real, estas actividades están diseñadas para ayudar a los estudiantes a internalizar los mensajes de las historias y aplicarlos a sus propias vidas.

Lo más destacado de “Una historia, dos vistas”:

• 8 historias cortas cautivadoras, cada una contada desde dos puntos de vista opuestos
• Fomenta la empatía, el pensamiento crítico y la apreciación de diversos puntos de vista.
• Incluye 20 actividades y preguntas de discusión para una mayor exploración.
• Adaptable a diferentes contextos de aula y estilos de aprendizaje.
