Perspectives

(for classroom discussion

grades 4-5)

Take a minute to consider the groupings below.

Authentic:

catcher’s mitts;

pogroms;

voices from above.

 

Inauthentic:

table manners;

Europe.

 

Q1:  Do you agree with these classifications?  Why or why not?  Who has most influenced your own views on pogroms?  

Q2.  What do you think is behind all the urging we hear to 'keep it real'?  Do such      people have the vaguest notion of where a dessert fork should go?

Q3:  Is it madness to hear voices from above?

What about from within?
