Thinking from Different Perspectives

In this short video clip, Jim Burke, author of many professional books, such as The English Teacher's Companion, Tools for Thought, and Reading Reminders, discusses a specific strategy for teaching students to think about literature from different perspectives: the conversational round table.

This strategy, along with many others, are included in Burke's Tools for Thought.  In this book, he not only provides useful strategies for helping students comprehend and respond to literature, but he also includes student artifacts so readers may see the strategies from the students' perspective.
