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.

Stereotypes

Objective: To deepen understanding of categorizing groups.

Activity: Students are asked to imagine a picture of a farmer, including his clothes, home, vehicle, etc. Students draw a picture and share results, noting similarities in their concept of a farm--white wooden house, overalls, etc.

Assessment: Quality of students participation and sharing and noting similarities in their pictures.
