Unit 4: Personal Narrative and Genealogy (History of Me: How Perspectives Develop)
In our fourth and final unit on understanding narrative perspective, students will discover both how
their personal perspectives are formed and how their experiences have changed, shaped, or altered
their perspective on a variety of topics. Through a genealogy project, students will uncover their
personal histories and determine whether or not their perspectives have been influenced by their past
or present. In creating personal narratives, students will discover themselves and an instance when their
perspective was developed or altered. (6 weeks, 21 class days)
