Seeking New Perspectives:
The world is so much bigger than you.


NP.1 Imagining other perspectives:

Students are able to imagine and describe multiple competing perspectives on the same or similar situations.  
Imagining Other Perspectives
Sometimes, it's really easy to just imagine that everybody thinks the same way we do - which can lead to a lot of problems and misunderstanding.  This lesson helps students begin to practice perspective-taking.
