Through the looking glass: changing perceptions through the writing process

Setting the stage Write the first thing you see in the picture Words not sentences For example…

Instructions Think about the optical illusions you just saw. Was your answer correct? Can there be more than one correct answer? Do you think the same way others think? Do others think the same way you think?

Who is right and who is wrong? You? The others? Everybody? Nobody?

Reflection Think about how the pictures from the second part made you feel. Do you identify with what some of the pictures represent?

Through the looking glass Write about the picture that MOST bothered you. Write about your position Explain why the image bothered you Defend your stance Now…put yourself in the shoes of someone who could think completely different Write through the opposite lens Defend why a different position is valuable
