Encourage tinkering with ideas, relationships, connections. Set up situations where students have to find information not readily available in school texts. Provide opportunity for students to design open-ended explorations of the concept. Provide multiple options so students can plan a unique "proof" of learning.
Extend the experience
Objective: The student will extend the concept of visual communication to a project of their own choice.
Activity: Have the student brainstorm about topics they would like to make a social comment about. Then have them illustrate their feeling toward the subject. The illustration should reflect clearly the artist's view of the subject.
