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.

Role play short term local solutions. Mindmap possible solutions and ramifications.

Objective: To broaden the students' understanding of how to approach solving a problem such as world famine.

Activity: Students in small groups will role play situations depicting national reactions. 1) Quick cash crops which further deplete the land and might be illegal. 2) Destruction of land by slash/burn for short-term benefits) and global questions (Can we continue to send food? What are real problems? Long-term solutions?) Mind map the experience.

Assessment: Level of involvement and quality of mind maps.
