Creating a Mental Picture

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.


Game: Kids Come in Special Flavors

Objective: Students will experience a reverse discrimination situation.
Activity: Use the kit, Kids Come in Special Flavors to assign students different handicaps. Play a game involving physical coordination and movement. Put the handicapped children on one team and give this team many extra points before the game starts. The winners receive a homework pass. The handicapped team has such an advantage that they win. After the game, discuss reverse discrimination and the feelings that accompany this situation. Another activity could be to watch the film, “The Sneetches” by Dr. Seuss.
Evaluation: Student participation and quality of discussion.
