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.

Have the children tell a story about something they needed

Objective: To bring to memory special things. To build the idea that some needs are transitory, good for us in their time, but not necessary as we grow older.

Activity: Have the children tell a story about something they needed, but do not need now. Have them draw a picture of themselves and that special thing and show it to a partner while they tell the story about it.

Assessment: How the child was able to relate the story, and how it interested the listener.
