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.
Students bring in photos/family trees; analog comparisons.
Objective: To compare life of early Coloradoans with those of the students' ancestors.
Activity: Students bring in photos, family histories, or family trees and discuss similarities and differences between their own ancestors and Georgetown pioneers discussed earlier. Draw analogs to describe comparisons.
