Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is to show students how we can learn about a character and gain more from a story by understanding characters’ points of view. By reading fictional texts and stepping into a character’s shoes, students learn how to process and see others’ perspectives. Viewing a fictional world through a character’s story helps students develop empathy for other people, which is a crucial skill not only for life and our relationships, but also for being a team player within the workplace.
