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.

Students picture and describe themselves in Elizabethan Times.

Objective: To extend the experience of the time travel into their own personal experience.

Activity: Play Elizabethan Music and then show a clip from the 1939 movie, "Elizabeth and Essex" starring Bette Davis and Errol Flynn. Now have students imagine themselves in Elizabethan Times. Then have them draw a picture of themselves and write what a typical day would be like for them in Elizabethan Times. (Provide fru-fru of all sorts for drawings.) Teacher does a picture to share also. Students and teacher share pictures and writing.

Assessment: Students reflect in their travel log while teacher reads from Bard of Avon.
