Standards-based Global EducationArizona’s College and Career Ready Standards – English Language Arts – Informational Text 9–12 Analyze a complex set of ideas or sequence of events and explain how specific individuals, ideas, or events interact and develop over the course of the text. (11-12.RI.3) I feel that this standard is ideal for integration of global education. Researchers Boix Mansilla and Jackson explain the global competency of recognizing the existence and effects of different perspectives in “Globally Competent Students Recognize Perspectives.” There are four capacities that are explained, and the first three can be easily integrated to this standard. The first two capacities are about students recognizing their own perspective and the perspectives of others. Then, the third capacity is: explain how cultural interactions influence situations, events, issues, or phenomena, including the development of knowledge (Boix Mansilla and Jackson 31). This standard asks students to examine events and account for interact and development. The students need to recognize differing perspectives in order to explain interaction and development. Students need to master this standard to help them become globally aware. The students will participate in a lesson in which they read primary source narratives from teens who live in Israel and Gaza. Students will analyze the similarities and differences in the texts to determine perspectives. For an additional challenge, students will read primary source narratives from adults who live in Israel and Gaza. This may create a different perspective, due to age and history. They will use a Venn diagram to find similarities and differences in the messages and values of the teens. The Venn Diagram will demonstrate their understanding of the text and perspectives. If the students also read adult narratives, two more layers of Venn diagrams can be added.
