From selecting a career path to participating in politics, learning how to consider different perspectives is an essential life skill. In this LAP, students will learn how to appropriately consider new and different ideas so that they can make well-informed decisions at school, at work, and in life. Students will gain hands-on experience with opposing opinions through the individual and group activities, where they will use the internet to research topics relevant to their own lives.
LAPs (Learning Activity Packages) are comprehensive instructional packages that include all elements of a performance-oriented lesson plan. This LAP includes a student handout (with CopyIT! permission) that includes information about considering conflicting viewpoints, a (So What?) discussion of why it's important to learn, and a short (Gray Zone) case addressing ethical issues. Click here for a sample of the student section. The instructor section features a comprehensive discussion guide, complete practice- (short answer) and post-tests (multiple-choice) with descriptive keys, student activities, and more.
Bring your discussions to life with our PowerPoint presentation featuring a broad range of graphics and special effects to help keep students interested. This professionally produced presentation consists of 15 slides.
