TRANSCRIPT
General overview of lesson
(2 class periods)• General discussion of bias and point of view
would take place on the Friday before anniversary weekend. Students’ initial journal entries could also be completed in class at this time.
• The second part, homework, would be “informal”: students to consider the elements of point of view and bias in any media they might see about 9/11 over the weekend.
• Looking at the primary sources – Spiegelman’s and other images -- could take place on the Monday following the anniversary weekend.
Objectives• Discuss the notion that point of view or “bias” is not
always negative• Ascertain the sequence of events that comprise 9/11• Determine the particular narrative the artist/author is
establishing via the source about 9/1//2001• Analyze the how the author’s bias and point of view
have informed his work• Compare the graphic novel as a primary source
document to photographs of the event(s)• Work collaboratively in small groups• Articulate their understanding in small and large group
settings• Engage in respectful dialogue and discourse
