Assignment 7: Follow Up to Lesson
My fourth graders did "Point of View" writing from two different animal's point of view. They really enjoyed this activity and have asked to do it again. They enjoyed hearing the other sides point of view. This has carried over to social aspects in the classroom. Now, when we have "disagreements" they understand that theirs is not the only point of view that needs to be taken into consideration. They are more willing to listen to the other side and hopefully understand a little more about where that other person is coming from. It was a very worthwhile lesson.

I was only able to do this lesson with a small group. It is encouraging to hear how this lesson helped with recognizing other points of view in your class.
