Abstract

This learning module sets out to provide teachers with 6 lessons to teach perspective for 5th grade students. The module teaches perspective by giving students examples of advocacy and what it means to "take a stand." Throughout the module, students will be introduced to diverse texts and a number of multimedia elements. At the end of the module, students will research a controversial topic (grade level appropriate and teacher approved), and write a news-report that shows both sides of the topic. This is a project based assessment. This module can be easily modified to reach a variety of grade-levels.
