Good afternoon, class. In your notebook. I’d like you to respond to the
following warm-up prompt:
In medical terms,
tunnel vision
is a condition that limits what a person can see.
Someone with tunnel vision can only see what is directly in front of them, as if
looking through a tube.
However, some people with perfect eyesight still see the world with tunnel
vision. What do I mean by this, and how can this be a negative thing? How can
this be a positive thing?
Tunnel Vision
•
Enduring Understanding: Tunnel vision can be a positive
thing because it can keep someone focused on a certain
goal, but it can be negative when it keeps someone from
seeing something important that is right under their nose.
