Provide a metaview, lifting students into a wider view of the concept. Use another medium (not reading or writing) to connect students' personal knowing to the concept (i.e. visual arts, music, movement, metaphor, etc.) Involve learners in reflective production that blends the emotional and the cognitive.

Express emotion through colors.

Objective: “Half and Half” Coloring Experience

Activity: Students will be given a picture of a peacful Indian village. They will fold the picture in half and use a ruler to draw a line down the middle. They will then either choose a person, draw or imagine themselves in the picture. While they are listening to Native American Flute, by N. Carlos Nakai, they will use their best effort to color the right side of the picture. When this is finished, they will be told that the whole village is being forced to move to an unknown desitnation and there is no choice involved. Now they are to color the other side with colors that would represent how they feel about this forced move while listening to The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky. Using Random Call we will process the experience.

Assessment: Were the students able to feel the emotion of the different pieces of music and transfer that to the coloring activity?
