Points of View

We often interpret the world around us based on our social and cultural background, our values, and our personal experiences. For this reason, the same situation can be viewed from different perspectives, and there isn’t necessarily a right or wrong one.

This game is designed to encourage middle and high school students to reflect, express their own point of view, and observe and embrace those of others. Using a deck of 50 flashcards depicting events or situations that have occurred online — closely tied to young people’s everyday lives — teachers are equipped with tools to guide classroom discussions appropriately. To do this, teachers will be provided with a series of argumentation techniques suited to the situations, as well as thought-provoking questions to encourage reflection.
