Analytical Lenses: Diverse Perspectives - copy

By looking at a work of literature or societal issue through different lenses of analysis, high school students will be able to see a work or issue from multiple perspectives (gender, culture, economic class). This will allow more room for diversity and inclusion in classroom discussions.
