I felt a thrilling chill as my psychology professor at Fitchburg State University explained that the ability to see from multiple perspectives is a key aspect of adolescent cognitive development. What does Tamika imagine that Judy is thinking about Jose?

This idea deeply resonated with me as in my photography classes for aspiring professionals I returned again and again to the concept of photographing a single subject from multiple perspectives.

I was so excited because now when I teach adolescents, I can use this photographic approach for the dual purpose of teaching how to see
and how to think.

So then, a few days later, I was reading
a chapter on text factors for promoting comprehension in Gail Tompkins's
Literacy for the Middle Grades. Discussing the importance of
point of view, along with other story structure elements such as
plot,
setting,
characters and
theme, the author mentioned several stories told from the viewpoints of multiple characters. Bingo. Now I can add a reading component to this concept of learning to think and see from multiple perspectives.
Can't wait for my next class!
P.S. Enjoying conceptual artist Sol LeWitt's
wall drawings fundamentally altered and enhanced the way I see and appreciate line - and life.
