Pedagogy Answer!
Well, in response to my own previous blog about my pedagogy lessons and perspectives, I happened to be talking to the librarian and she found some great resources for me! There are books that have two stories in it with different perspectives. It takes known stories (The Little Red Hen, Billy Goat Gruffs, etc.) and tells the story with someone else's perspective! I was so excited when she told me about these. We have I think 4 or 5 books, so I am going to do a small mini-unit about perspectives! These will be great read-alouds during the short half days due to conferences. It pays to mention the right thing at the right time to the right person!

The new perspectives on Billy Goats Gruff sounds very interesting, can you share the title and author? In 6th grade we have also been interested in other peoples perspectives, it is a great way to introduce empathy.
Good luck.
Hi Angela -- I've used the "Real Story of the 3 Little Pigs" in the past. Those books are fun. It occurs to me also that we've just been through an intense example of different perspectives in the election process with candidates interpreting the same example or particular experience in widely different ways -- is the fact that Russia is close to Alaska an example of foreign policy experience or is citing that example to claim foreign policy experience an indication of ignorance?
Good luck!

Hey if you're still doing this, I did a lesson on perspectives for Thanksgiving with a book that includes the perspective of a pilgrim boy and a native american boy. I have it if you want to use it.
