This really made me think....
We all think that to be educated means to know a lot. I think the easy part is knowing a lot. The hard part is changing the way we think because of what we know. We can all know a lot just by finding information and then remembering it. Not everyone choses to change the way they think and do things because of the information they know.
Geographers (people who study Geography) and Historians (people who study History) believe if they understand the places, people and past they will;
- Know more about places, people and the past
- Change the way they think about places people and the past
- Change the way they act now
Your blog reflection......What do you think?
"It's your perspective that counts- your ability to see differently, not just see a lot"
1. Look at the "stimulus"picture under the heading "Your blog reflection..... What do you think?". Copy the stimulus into your blog.
NOTE- If you use the app on your iPad "Side by Side" this is easy to do. You can have my blog next to your blog on the iPad screen. Then you can copy from my blog and paste onto yours.
2. In week 8 we discussed in groups of 4 "What the picture has to do with "perspectives"? You wrote down you ideas as a group and Mrs Collimore collected this.
3. GROUP WORK.....Now we are going to write about the link between the picture and the idea of perspectives.
How can we answer this question?
Explain the link between the elephant picture and the idea of perspectives.
NOTE TO HELP YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION- Lets look at the question.....
--> Explain means you should "make relationships between things evident"
--> A paragraph is 3 to 5 sentences written together.
Here is how you can write your paragraph which shows a link between the picture and perspectives. Write a sentence on each of the following.....
- Sentence 1: Restate/ Rephrase the question. (What are you going to talk about)
- Sentence 2: State (say) what the picture is about.
(Look at your group elephant picture with notes. This will help!)
- Sentence 3: State (say) what "perspectives" means.
- Sentence 4: Link one idea from the picture with one idea from the perspectives meaning.
(Look at your group elephant picture with notes. This will help!)
- Sentence 5: Rephrase the question again using different words. (What have you talked about)
Don't forget a paragraph is sentences which flow from on from each other. They are not written on separate lines but follow each other.
3. Write the heading in your blog "Perspectives Effect Me".
Write down an example of a time when the following have happened to you. Each example should be written in a paragraph following format...
NOTE TO HELP YOU WRITE YOUR PARAGRAPH: Remember a paragraph has 3-5 sentences. The sentences should flow on from one another.
Sentence 1: Restate/ Rephrase what the example is you are going to write about. Sentence 2: State your example.
Sentence 3: State what is a "perspective". Sentence 4: Make the link between your example and the perspective.
-a- You knew more about something and you changed how you did something.
-b- You understood another way a person thought so you changed your opinion.
-c- The culture (different way a group of people live e.g. religion, food, life style) of another person changed what you did.
-d- Something from another country changed what you do.
