I blogged in my "Showing Reality" site about making pumpkin pie. As I wrote it I specifically had a class exercise in mind. What I did was use the word "things" several times instead of a more concrete term. The assignment for the students will be to rewrite the blog entry replacing the abstract term for one that is concrete and specific.
A second step to this assignment could then be to get into small groups, discuss what word each students used to replace each "thing" in the blog and then to compile them according to the abstraction ladder theory (linear progression of terms that move in steps from the abstract to the concrete).
