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.

Children trace hand and foot.

Objective: To teach the concept that size comparisons are relative.

Activity: Give each child two sheets of drawing paper. Ask the children to place one hand on one of the sheets with fingers outspread, and draw an outline around it. Next, have the children trace an outline of one of their feet on the other piece of paper. Have them compare the two; then compare their hand outline with one of the other children: then a foot with one of the other children. Tracing of the teacher's hand and foot should also be compared. (Or any other significant adult.)

Assessment: Meaningful participation in the activity.
