Projecting Across Distance
This routine encourages learners to take a broader, multi-perspectival view of a topic, event, or issue. While there are other thinking routines that also encourage learners to take diverse perspectives, this routine differentiates itself by inviting learners to specifically compare and contrast perspectives with firstly another community in their country, followed by countries that are geographically different from their own country.
Projecting Across Distance
Pick a topic, event, or issue that might be approached differently in different parts of the world or even your own country, such as food security, population growth, or marriage practices.
Not everyone in the same country or even in the same city, holds the same views, and even if they hold broadly similar views, it’s the shades of differences that may be of greatest interest.
