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.
Write a poem or draw a picture of your responsibilities.
Objective: Students will create a poem or a picture showing participation.
Activity: Have students draw a picture showing responsibilities that they have at home or at school. They may write a poem or a song about their responsibilities if they would prefer. Have them share their pictures and poems with either a small group or whole group. Remind them that the activity done in quadrant one was responsibility to their partner in order for them to be successful. Responsibilities are not just individually, they affect others and their performances.
