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.

Visual: Match the abstraction (truth, justice, ambition) w/ images (clothing, sleep, dark).

Objective: Students will begin to understand how abstraction is explained through concrete imagery.

Activity: Teacher distributes a list of words which represent abstractions (truth, justice, ambition, loyalty) with a list of words that represent images (clothing, sleep, dark, light). Students are then asked to match an abstraction with an image and show in a visual way why the two go together.

Assessment: Quality of understanding depicted in the visual as well as the ability to articulate the relationship between the image and the abstraction.
