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.

Role play: perspectives change as a result of death, divorce, job, dismissal, etc.

Objective: For students to investigate events which change the roles we play in our families.

Activity: Role play scenarios in which perspectives change as a result of death, divorce, job loss, college, relocation, etc. Students write a short paragraph explaining how the various roles altered when an unexpected event changed the way the family operated as a unit.

Assessment: Quality of student roleplays and accompanying paragraphs.
