Week #8: Perspective/ Point of View
Jan. 28-Feb. 1
Sponsor: Pam Libertini
Students responded to the following prompt: “Please write what you think about Read 180 from the perspective of students who are using the program for the first time.”
Some of the students’ responses included:
1. This first time that I am looking at it, I think it will be good for me to practice my listening and reading words. (I like it.) It will be helpful. As I begin this program I am exited.
2. Read 180 will help me to learn a lot of new vocabulary words. Also it will help me to read faster and more clearly than I can right now.
3. I think Read 180 is very interesting. It will help me in many ways and it can make me read better and understand better.
4. Read 180 is useful for me and other students who do not have higher English skills. Also it is a special program that will improve my reading, listening and vocabulary skills.
5. I think there are many things in Read 180 that will help make your language strong.
6. I think Read 180 will improve my English so that I can understand people when they are speaking fast.
(How do we visually see different points of view?)
Perspective is in Writing and Reading:
“Valentine’s Day is a day that should be celebrated everywhere because it is a day of love.”
What is the author’s perspective or point of view?
Students also considered the following examples of perspective in different subject areas.
Perspective is in Art: see the first and second picture
Perspective is in Geography
Perspective is in Science: see the third picture
Perspective is Mathematical:
Perceived Relative Depth = α(Visual Angle Ratio) + β(Angle from Normal) + c, where α, β, and c are all real numbers, with α approximately 10 times β, and angles measured in radians.
This solution to the inverse projection problem is an approximation to correct perspective.
Perspective = Point of View
Perspective/ Point of View: How people see or think about something.
Different people can have different perspectives or points of view.
