Overview
Students watch two segments about two women who have influenced architecture and the physical look of a city. After a class discussion, students will write and perform a Readers' Theater script in which Jacobs and Lin talk to each other abo...ut their ideas about architecture and life.
Why is this an important concept?
It is important for learners to be able to recognize connections between or among texts so they can identify common themes and conflicting information in their analyses of texts.
Standard:
Analyze how two or more authors writing about the same topic shape their presentations of key information by emphasizing different evidence or advancing different interpretations of facts. Lesson plans and two video clips are all included in this link.
In this video segment from New York Voices, renowned architect Maya Lin talks about her work and identity as an American of Chinese descent. Lin has made valuable contributions to American architecture, one of the most popular and perhaps most controversial being the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Some protested her appointment as architect of the memorial because of her Asian heritage. Lin's parents immigrated to America from China to escape communism, but Maya Lin was born in Ohio. In this segment, Lin talks about a museum she is designing and how it will represent a timeline of the Chinese American experience. The museum aims to break down stereotypes of Chinese people and show their legacy of contributions as Americans. (06:43)

This video contains information about crocodiles and alligators; how they are similar and different. This can be used as one of many sources about a given topic for students to gain knowledge in order to write about that topic (W.K.7, W.1.7, W.2.7).... Use this in conjunction with other videos about alligators and crocodiles to inform students so they can write on the topic. (03:01)

This is a simple video including a song in the background. It shows the differences between an Alligator and a Crocodile. The video shows different pictures and the text is somewhat hard to read. However, you can see the main concepts! Great for co...mparing/contrasting in the classroom (1:48).
