Why teach word meaning through nonsense words?

• Students must use critical thinking to solve
• Students must read the whole passage for context clues
• Students must problem solve to find the best word that makes the most sense.
• They can't find the answer except through problem solving.

All of these are things we want every student to do! This is something that is already adapted for high and low learners.

Starting with three nonsense words gets students going so they can work in groups or independently to decode the meaning of 7 REAL words (selected from the SAT vocabulary list).

This is a perfect activity for group problem solving and critical thinking!

One Story, Two Perspectives: Exploring Subjectivity and Empathy through Dual-Perspective Narratives 5-8

Description:

Dive into the world of subjectivity and empathy with "1 Story, 2 Perspectives," a unique collection of eight short stories, each told from two contrasting viewpoints. Designed for students in grades 5-8, this resource encourages readers to examine familiar scenarios through different lenses, fostering understanding, compassion, and critical thinking skills.

Each story features two distinct characters, such as the shy new kid and the boisterous class clown, or the driven athlete and the passionate artist. By presenting both perspectives side by side, these narratives invite students to step into the shoes of each character, exploring their thoughts, feelings, and motivations. As students engage with the stories, they'll develop a deeper appreciation for the role that personality, priorities, and life experiences play in shaping one's perception of the world.

But the learning doesn't stop with the stories themselves! 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
• Includes 20 activities and discussion questions for deeper exploration
• Adaptable for various classroom settings and learning styles
• Aligns with Common Core Standards for English Language Arts

By exploring these dual-perspective narratives and engaging in the accompanying activities, students will:

• Develop a deeper understanding of empathy and subjectivity
• Recognize the importance of considering multiple viewpoints
• Strengthen critical thinking and analysis skills
• Improve written and verbal communication abilities
• Foster a more compassionate and inclusive classroom community

"One Story, Two Perspectives" is a must-have resource for any educator looking to promote social-emotional learning, character education, and the development of 21st-century skills. Download now and watch as your students grow into more understanding, empathetic, and open-minded individuals!

**********************************

This resource features 12 Pictures (realistic and relevant) that students can use to make inferences and support their inferences with picture details/evidence. Inferencing with pictures is very similar to inferring from texts because students examine the image details of the pictures and make inferences. They apply their background knowledge to infer situations, feelings, tone, and overall attitudes. The images included in this resource appeal to older students (middle and high school).

ITEM DESCRIPTIONS

▶️ 12 Picture Inference Worksheets - Two Inferences (Print and Digital)

Students are asked to examine the picture and explain what they think is happening. They are also asked to make two inferences and provide evidence to support their inferences. There are three sections that students are completing on this sheet. This item is included in both print and digital versions.

Included are 12 Task Cards that consist of the picture and the question tasks: What inferences can you make from this picture? Support your inferences with picture details. These Task Cards can be used in small groups (for extra support), in pairs, or whole class.

▶️ ANSWER KEYS are included to provide you with inference ideas and help you facilitate discussions!

▶️ 12 Picture Inference POWERPOINT Slides (Print and Digital / Uneditable)

The same pictures and questions are also included in the visually appealing PowerPoint slides. Each slide contains a picture and the task: Examine the picture and make inferences.

An EXTRA visually appealing slide without the picture that includes all the visually appealing clipart, fonts, and background paper is included so you can ADD your own picture(s). All you have to do is “duplicate” the slide to add more images!
