Lesson Outline:

Introduction (5 minutes)

Begin with a brief discussion on the importance of understanding different perspectives on an issue.

Introduce the learning objectives and explain how they will help students get better at analyzing texts and
issues.

Activity 1: Identifying Perspectives (10 minutes)

Divide students into small groups and assign them sections from the Learner's Skills Book 5 or
Downloadables 2.18 and 2.19.

Each group will read their assigned section and identify key points from different perspectives within the
text.

Groups will note their findings on a shared document or chart paper.

Activity 2: Exploring Strength of Feeling (10 minutes)

Using the same texts, students will now focus on finding words or phrases that show the strength of feeling
about the issue.

In their groups, students will highlight these words or phrases and discuss what they suggest about the
person's perspective.

Each group will share one example with the class and explain their reasoning.

Activity 3: Comparing Perspectives (10 minutes)

Students will remain in their groups and use their findings from the previous activities to compare and
contrast different perspectives on the same topic.

They will create a Venn diagram or a comparative chart to visually represent the similarities and differences
between perspectives.
Each group will present their diagram or chart, explaining the significance of their findings.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

Wrap up the lesson by reviewing the learning objectives and discussing how understanding different
perspectives and the strength of feelings can deepen our analysis of texts and issues.

Encourage students to apply these skills when engaging with different texts and viewpoints in the future.

Assessment:
Observation of group discussions and participation.

Evaluation of the charts, diagrams, and explanations created during the activities.

A short reflective piece where students explain how this lesson has changed or deepened their understanding
