College American Sample draft for English discussion question
About
“Positive or Normative Perspective” is a Discussion assessment that encourages students to describe a chapter/chapter section/topic from a positive (“what is”) or normative (“what should be”) perspective.
Estimated Time
An estimated 2 hours is needed to complete this activity.
Prompt
There are two perspectives we can use to examine any object, such as a chapter/chapter section/topic: positive and normative.
Positive Perspective
A positive perspective seeks to answer the question: “what is?” While a normative perspective seeks to answer the question: “what should be?”
The positive perspective is more closely associated with an “objective” or “matter-of-fact” view. For example, if we see a red tomato growing in a garden, a positive perspective would state: “There is a red tomato growing in the garden”.
Normative Perspective
A normative perspective is more closely associated with a “subjective” or “opinionated” view. For example, if we see a red tomato growing in a garden, a normative perspective would state: “There is a red tomato growing in the garden, but I think there should be a green zucchini growing instead.”
Instructions
In 5 sentences, evaluate a chapter or chapter section from either a normative or positive perspective.
You can choose any chapter or chapter section from the textbook to evaluate.
Recall that a normative perspective is asking “What should be?” while a positive perspective is asking “What is?”
