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.
Illustrate how changes in economic roles are reflected in advertising since before the 1960s until today.
Objective: The learner will illustrate changes in economic roles as reflected in advertising.
Activity: The teacher should provide magazine pictures, Internet access, library reference materials, CD-ROM programs such as the “Time Almanac” etc. for students to find advertising and pictures illustrating the economic roles of minorities and women before the Civil Rights legislation in the 1960’s and since those changes. If they know before their field trip to the Institute, they can obtain some of these illustrations from the archives there.
