I absolutely LOVE this idea from Miss Trayers at Not Just Child’s Play. She asked her young students to use some of Margaret Kaplan’s Depth and Complexity icons in a frame centered on their moms. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to try it with my own first grade GT students. I broke out our Depth and Complexity stamps, and they went to town. You should have seen the look on one boy’s face when I asked the class to use Multiple Perspectives to think about what it would be like to be a mom. It’s a good bet that’s never been at the top of his list of goals! For more examples, you can click here.
Rules – She has to be awesome. She has to be nice. She has to be cool. Big Idea – She helps me feel better (I’m not absolutely sure what the other part says.) Multiple Perspectives – Hard because you have to clean and do chores. Being Bossy. Language of the Discipline – I love you. How was your day? You’re a good kid.

I think that other part you weren’t sure of says “stuff that our dad can not do”
