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.

Word Sort

Objective: Students will determine relationships among words.
Activity: Given a set of twenty words, small groups of students divide words into sets according to some relationship. Groups discuss their sets with the whole class. Discussion should lead all groups to discover, if they have not already done so, that the words given to each group could be organized by parts of speech.
Evaluation: Participation and quality of discussion.
