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.

Shadow Plays

Objective: To have the children experience what it would be like to be a shadow and to introduce them to the experience of shadows being related to themselves.

Activity: Have the students pair. One child will be the leader and the other child will be the shadow. The children take turns leading their respective shadows around the room.

Assessment: Observe the children in each of their roles and watch how they enact how the shadow would act.
