The Class Tableau
This week we read a nonfiction book and discovered the main ideas of the book. When all the groups were done each group talked about the heart of the book which is the main idea. The groups made a tableau explaining the heart of the article. Each person had something to say explaining what their character would say at that moment in time. We did this because we are talking about main idea and the heart of nonfiction articles. We had two groups read the same topic but different books and we figured out that each character of the book had two different sides about the same topic. We also figured out that all of the books we read had a favored side to one of the characters say If you were reading a book about the Indian Removal Act the author might have favored the Indians more than Andrew Jackson. Or, if you were reading a book on Christopher Columbus the author might of favored him more than anyone else. Lastly, you might of read a book on Martin Luther King Jr. and the author would of favored Martin Luther over the people who were against the civil rights movement. As a reader we need to remember the author’s bias and think about the point of view not mentioned.
