A metaprime example is something that IS an example of itself in a self-referential way. Metaprime examples can be words themselves, or names, or names of things, or things themselves. Metaprime examples can be ideas or objects, abstract or literal, metalanguage or existential. They can be intentional or un. Sometimes they make you laugh, and usually they make you dizzy if you think about them too long!

Magnet magnet
In this flipchart (for a Promethean board - ActivInspire software) the items that are magnetic will stick to the magnet.

When the students click and drag the magnetic items to the magnet, they "stick" and the non-magnetic items do not. Metaprime because my flipchart has nouns and pronouns and the correct answers "stick" to the word Noun or Pronoun, but the science teacher did this one.

Thanks, Kerry!
