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.

Guided Imagery of Scarcity

Objective: To use another medium for the children to imagine "scarcity".

Activity: Conduct a teacher-prepared imaginary trip to a desert. While on the trip through the desert, the bus breaks down and we are all stranded for two days. Include in the imagery all the things that would be scarce in such a situation. Discuss with the children how scarcity can be situational.

Assessment: Student involvement in the imaginary trip and contribution to the discussion.
