Attribute Linking - Building Community by Taking Perspectives
Rationale:
This activity is
designed to help students discuss difficult issues, while also
recognizing that they likely represent different perspectives.
"Attribute Linking" can help students to define, clarify, and
personalize the roles of victim, perpetrator, and bystander,
By having students look for attributes they share before they discuss
issues on which they may differ, the exercise emphasizes commonality
over differences and helps students recognize the value of negotiation.
Finally, this exercise builds trust and contributes to a climate of
openness in the Facing History classroom.
