Example
Students are taught a lesson on emotion. They are given the task of using construction paper , popsicle sticks and playdoughs to construct different kinds of human feelings. Students participation in this activity provides them with the experience and knowledge of understanding different kinds of feelings. This might be difficult to achieve without going through the process of generating the emotions .

Example 2
Students are asked to draw a tree in their sketchbooks. After the initial sketch, they are taken outside and invited to observe and describe any tree of their choice. They are then invited to draw the tree from any angle they choose.
Back in the classroom, the students are asked to reflect on both trees and state any observations they have about both pictures.
