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.

Similarities

Objective: To teach the concept of "sameness" (similarity).

Activity: Present students with letter cards, shape cards, or picture cards. Show what "twin" cards look like. Do several examples of "modeling" for group.

Assessment: Students will be able to divide cards into twin sets.
