Creating a Mental Picture

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 should in small groups categorize the characters

Objective: To explore the categories used in determining a society’s hierarchy and what those categories reveal about the society that created it.

Activity: Using the knowledge gained in the previous activity, students should in small groups categorize the characters that the class had crated as the earlier assignment. Once this is done, students should create a visual of some sort which shows the relationships of these categories. Is there a hierarchy? Are some categories linked? These visuals should be presented and explained to the class.
After all groups have presented their hierarchy’s visual, students should discuss what these views have in common and how they differ. Students should also consider what the hierarchy reveals about the creators and what the difficulties were that they had in the formation.

Assessment: Class discussion which reveals such things as how we categorize people, even when we may say that we don’t, different hierarchical developments within the class the inconsistencies of grouping people by one aspect.
Participation in group activities.
