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.

Pairs of students will describe similarities and differences in pairs of letters.

Objective: Students will become aware that geometry vocabulary is also used to describe things other than geometric designs.

Activity: Pairs of students will choose any two letters from the alphabet and describe their similarities and differences. Each pair of students will exchange their descriptions with another pair of students and they try to determine which letters are being described.

Assessment: Quality of work with partner, participation, effort in trying to give a complete description of each set of letters.
