Elisha Peterson Sost 200 Multiple Perspectives Lesson Plan I. Standards Addressed: The NCSS social studies curriculum standard that is addressed by this lesson is “ 4. Individual Development and Identity.” The specific performance expectation is “c. describes the ways family, religion, gender, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, and other group and cultural influences contribute to the development of self.” II. Expected Learning Outcome: - The student will be able to explain how various influences (i.e. family, religion, gender, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, etc.) are involved in the development of their individual perspectives.
- The student will be able to identify the three categories of perspectives (survival, organization, and culture and ideology).
III. Evaluation: The students will be evaluated on participation in classroom discussion and on a multiple perspectives worksheet. IV. Curriculum: This lesson could be used in psychology, sociology, history, economics, cultural geography, or culture classes. This lesson would be particularly effective in the beginning of the course and could be integrated throughout the course. V. Instruction: This lesson could last one or two class sessions. On the first day, hold a classroom discussion on multiple perspectives. First, explain the three types of perspectives (survival, organizational, and culture and ideology). Ask the students why they think people have different perspectives. Some things that could be brought up are family, religion, gender, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, etc.) If the students don’s think of all of these, try to ask questions that would lead them to think of these as possibilities. As the various reasons are brought up, discuss how and why they affect an individual’s perspective. It might be helpful to create a list on the board as students brainstorm ideas. Either as homework or during the second day of the lesson distribute the worksheet for the students to complete. The students can either work individually or in groups, but each student must turn in their own worksheet. VI. Discussion Questions · List the three different types of perspectives. · Describe the different influences on an individual’s perspective. · Use the three types of perspectives to look at a current events issue. · Analyze the differences and similarities between the three types of perspectives. · Predict how the various perspectives would solve a current world problem. · Judge the implications of recognizing the different perspectives.
