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 Metaphors: "All students should be allowed to ..." and "The principal's job is to ..."
Objective: To clarify and expand upon the concept of students' rights in contrast to school officials' responsibilities.
Activity: In small groups, students create a visual metaphor of the relationship between a student's rights and a teacher's responsibilities.
Assessment: Student's ability to work within groups; demonstration of a differentiation in and relationship between the two elements.
