Fighting for a Cause DR | Domain Review 149 © 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation Perspectives Have students choose a historical f gure from the read-alouds they have heard. Tell them that they are going to write two to three sentences about f ghting for a cause from that f gure’s point of view or perspective. Explain that perspective is how someone sees or experiences something. Give students an example, such as, “If Rosa Parks were to talk about f ghting for a cause, she would probably use her experience in the Montgomery Bus Boycott to do so”; or, “If Cesar Chavez were to describe f ghting for a cause, he would probably use his experience as an organizer and leader for farmworkers as an example.” Give students time to write their sentences about f ghting for a cause from the perspective of Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., or Cesar Chavez. Then, allow students to share their writing with the class and ask each other questions pertaining to the historical f gure they have chosen. Remember to expand upon each student’s writing and response(s) using richer and more complex language, including, if possible, any read-aloud vocabulary.
