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

I am a preschool teacher and certified yoga instructor. I designed this game to be versatile for use in both my preschool classes (with picture dice) and my kids yoga classes (with yoga pose dice).

I have included both sets of dice that I use in my classes. However, I only recommend using the kids yoga dice if you have prior training on how to safely guide the children into the yoga poses.

How to Assemble the Dice

1. Cut the outside lines.

2. Fold along all lines.

3. Glue or tape the tabs into place (I like to use double-sided tape).

How to Play

Yoga Version:

Roll the dice and instruct the children how to

safely move into the yoga poses.

Classroom Version:

1. Roll the dice.

2. Lead an open discussion about the animal that lands facing up.

Suggested Questions:

Have they ever seen the animal in real life?

What does the animal eat?

Is it a predator or prey?

Where does it live?

When does it like to sleep?

Does it have any special characteristics or qualities?

Would they like to have this animal for a pet?

What color is this animal?

Is it big or small?

What noise does it make?

Does it hibernate?

What would they do if they saw this animal?

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.
