Encourage students to analyze different perspectives on a topic. Use literature as a springboard for discussions about character motivations and moral dilemmas.

Ask students to write a short paragraph about a controversial topic. Then, have them pair up to discuss their viewpoints before sharing with the class.

1. What motivates the main character in the story?
2. How would the story change if told from another character's perspective?
3. Can you identify any moral dilemmas faced by the characters?
4. What lessons can we learn from the characters' choices?
5. How does the author's background influence the narrative?

Students often believe that there is only one correct interpretation of a text. Encourage them to see multiple viewpoints.

Play 'Character Hot Seat,' where one student acts as a character and answers questions from peers. This builds empathy and understanding of different perspectives.

Always encourage open discussion and respect for differing opinions in class.
