Objective: Students will understand how their perspectives can differ from other students,
and that they need everyone’s perspective to get the whole picture. Students will
understand how this applies to both current events and events in history.
Look: Students observe the sculpture from multiple angles, with a few students on all
sides. How does it look from your side? Do you see the same thing as someone standing on
the other side? What would happen if you walked around it?
Write: Describe your point of view of the sculpture. What colors do you see? What does it
remind you of? How does your location around the sculpture change what you see? Does
your height affect what you see? Is there one correct answer?
Share: Share your descriptions with the person standing across from you. Are they the
same? What makes them different? How could you show the other person your
perspective? How do we learn the perspective of others in our lives? Ask for volunteers to
share out with the whole group. Discuss how we saw different things while looking at the
same sculpture, and how we could view the sculpture from someone else’s perspective.
Standard: SS.BH1.a.4 Describe how a person’s understanding, perceptions, and behaviors
are affected by relationships and environments.
