Have you ever stopped to think about what your life might be like if you had to walk a mile in someone else's shoes? Being able to identify, respect and understand that each person has their own view of the world is integral to our cognitive and social development. Perception in literature is often directed by the main voice in the text; whether that be the first person, narrator or a dominant character. It is also important for students to recognize that the antagonists and inferior characters in text also have views.
The "Big Idea" for this unit comes from an integral portion of the Language Arts curriculum; "Point of View". This unit encourages students to see and hear varying perspectives in both literature and historical contexts (links to Social Studies Curriculum). Point of View will be identified and explored through oral communication, reading, writing and media literacy components.
