Lesson 6: Understanding Different Perspectives
Concepts Objectives—
People can have different perspectives about other people, places, and situations.
Perspective taking is a central component of empathy.
Students will be able to:
Identify differing perspectives in given scenarios
Generate prosocial responses to scenarios in which different perspectives could cause a conflict.
*Purple sheet home activity due on Monday for Different Perspectives.
Spelling - NONE
Due to the shortened week and the holiday, there will be NO spelling lesson this week.
Reading - Unit 1 - THEME: "Courage"
In reading will be to close read the fiction piece titled, Happy Birthday Dr. King. Students will work in small groups to answer text-dependent questions and to use context clues to find meanings of unknown words. They will also be creating a digital notebook of vocabulary words for the story.
English - Capitalization & Punctuation
Commas in a series and other uses for commas are our topics next week. Then we will go into the use of quotation marks. This lesson is challenging, so we will spend several sessions on this topic.
Social Studies - The Southeast
We will complete our study of the Narragansett People with a small project titled "The Narragansett Village", which will be due on 11/5. Students will draw and label a model of what a Narragansett village of the past would look like based upon what we have studied about their culture. Look for the project description sheet to come home on Monday.
Our study of the Southeast begins with students creating a map of the region. A QUIZ on the map will be scheduled for the week of 11/4.
Science - Energy Conversions
Writing an argument about the blackout is the topic of the week. Students will be introduced to the terms "evidence" and "claims" as they apply to science.
