Objective: Students will be able to support a perspective after seeing different sides.
Watch: Conserving “Edge of England” by Cornelia Parker what does this piece look like to you? What is your perspective of this piece? Give students 2 minutes to look at the piece then 5 minutes to write or draw.
Share: Students will share what they have found within this piece in their small groups and the students will debate their perspective and why that is what they see. Students will have 10 minutes to talk it out and allow each member at the table to share. Then each table will have a representative for the perspective they thought was the most creative or most convincing (there is no right answer).
Write: Keep all of the perspectives up on the board and have students compare two perspectives of their choice. Students will write the similarities and differences about the different perspectives of the piece in a paragraph.
Standards:
- Standard: SS.Inq3.b.h Support a claim with evidence using sources from multiple perspectives and media (electronic, digital, print, and other mass media).
