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.
Group picture matching
Objective: To connect the problem solutions to a story mapping concept taught in previous lesson.
Activity: Divide the classroom into groups. Put story map signs on one group of children. Label them who, what, when, where, and how. The other group is given the story solutions and answers to the who, what, when, where, and how elements. The two groups are to move to their match.
Assessment: Teacher observes students making the connection between the turkey problem solutions and the story map elements (who, what, when, where, how).
