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.

Interviews and metaphors of inner self.

Objective: To preface the drama by helping students see that in our times we see ourselves by what we do, as opposed to a criterion such as "Renaissance Man" or "Christian Humanist."

Activity: Each student will ask 5 people, "Who are you?" and write down their responses. The class as a whole will read ahead in the play to the metaphor that More uses to describe himself, "...it is an area no bigger than a tennis court to him." Students will write or sketch a metaphor to express that which is their self: the part of themselves they will not change or alter for anyone. How often is that part of themselves involved in a decision or choice?

Assessment: Contributions to class discussion and sharing of personal metaphors.
