NEW CONCEPT: NEW UNIT


We are beginning a new concept for our next unit.
We are going to play an educated guessing game to figure out what our next unit is.

This game (learning method) is called Concept Formation.

We examine examples of the concept and engage in various steps to understand the key ideas of this concept. These key ideas are called "critical attributes". Knowing these critical attributes allow us to identify the concept and identify subsequent examples of this concept.

With the attached chart,
preview the focus questions to help you focus on certain information located in the readings. These questions help to identify differences and similarities between the examples.

Then, in class on Wednesday, we will use the finished chart to discuss the most important similarities, which are the key ideas ("critical attributes").
