To grow in understanding, students need to consider the views of people whose stories are told and explore those views in the context of the world as seen through the eyes of those people. For example, those who experience discrimination or slavery view the event differently than those who do not. By talking, writing, and responding to the perspectives of others, students expand their ability to reason and become active thinkers and grown in their ability to empathize with others who have different experiences.
