Changing Perspectives
Visual Prompt: How do you think the perspective of the single fish is different from the perspective of the rest of the fish?
Unit Overview
To change one’s perspective is to change one’s viewpoint, opinion, or position about something. How many times have you tried to change someone else’s mind? How often do others try to change your mind? In this unit, you will learn about creating an argument and communicating to particular audiences. You will identify “hot topics” and take a stand on your opinion about one hot topic. Through analyzing informational and argumentative texts, you will see how others write and create argumentative texts. You will debate, and you will write your own argumentative text.
