The Subtext Strategy | Integrated Teaching
This video segment for teachers shows a third grade class at Byck Elementary in Louisville, KY. Teacher Laura Wasz uses the painting Lewis and Clark on the Lower Columbia as a dramatic prop to inspire students to think more deeply about what the Lewis and Clark expedition must have been like. Wasz discusses why this approach, “the subtext strategy,” is an effective way to get students to assume a perspective different from their own.
