Introduction
(5 minutes)
- Pass out an index card to each student and tell them to draw a picture of themselves at recess.
- Tell students to turn to a partner and trade their index cards. Have the partners guess what they are doing in the picture.
- Have each student practice retelling what is happening in their partner's card.
- Provide students with a sentence frame to help them discuss what is going on in their partner's picture. Model this for the students prior to allowing them to share. Use the following sentence frame: "I think (student name) is (action) because (support from illustration)."
- Explain that because each person is different, each of their pictures shows something special or unique. This is their perspective.
