“The Power of Perspective”: Begin the lesson by showing students a series of optical illusions or ambiguous images that can be interpreted in different ways. Discuss how different people may see things differently based on their perspective. Then, introduce the assignment, which requires students to choose a historical event or current issue and write a short essay from the perspective of different individuals involved. This will encourage critical thinking and empathy, as students will have to consider different viewpoints and understand the impact of perspective on understanding events.

“Exploring Identity”: Start the lesson by asking students to reflect on their own identities and what factors have shaped who they are today. Then, introduce the assignment, which involves creating a visual representation of their identity using various art materials or digital tools. Students can include symbols, images, and words that represent their cultural background, hobbies, values, and aspirations. This activity will help students explore their own identities while fostering a sense of inclusivity and understanding of others’ identities.

“The Power of Words”: Begin the lesson by discussing the impact of words and language on individuals and society. Show examples of powerful speeches or quotes that have influenced history. Then, introduce the assignment, which requires students to choose a social issue they are passionate about and create a persuasive speech or spoken word poem to raise awareness and advocate for change. This activity will enhance students’ communication skills, critical thinking, and ability to express their opinions effectively while addressing important societal issues.
