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.


the importance of perspective change in their own thinking.

Objective:That students see how a change in their own perspective can open up new ideas.

Activity: The task now is to get the students to see the importance of perspective change in their own thinking. In order to do this, show the students a series of optical illusions and have them tae some time to figure each one out and how they knew what each one was. Students should consider the need to look at the figures in different ways (from different perspectives) in order to solve the problems. These illusions can be found in any high school psychology text. If you do not have access to a text, you could simply draw a couple.

Assessment: The student’s use of perspective to solve problems and their ability to see the need to change perspective at times.
