“WOW! What an informative and rich kit for students to learn more about perspectives and the language / dialogue that came about during and after the unit. I was pleased that students had great resources to work with and in turn, they were able to make their own justified opinions.

How did this kit help your students to discuss the idea of multiple perspectives? The kit has been awesome to help my class understand that everyone has their own version of a story.

“On the whole I thought this was a well designed engaging kit. It presented information about an important topic in an interesting way. The students really liked the character card guess who - game based learning is usually a hit. In regards to the story that was on the character cards, while it was interesting, I found the content a bit too complicated for my class. It took a lot of scaffolding for me to enable them to make the connections and realise how the different story lines fit together. If in future this could be considered while making these resources that would be excellent.”
