Part 2 of Models of Instruction
Learn to write a lesson using the Concept Attainment model.
In a Concept Attainment lesson, we give students examples and non-examples of a concept -- without telling them what that concept is. They must look for patterns to try to explain why the examples are grouped into two categories. In the end, you reveal the reasons as well as the academic vocabulary, the names of the concepts.
"I just subscribed to Byrdseed.TV and am loving it -- though it is kind of scary addictive in a binge-watching kind of way (that, by the way, is a compliment)." ~ Elizabeth from Florida
"I am the coordinator for our district gifted program. Byrdseed.TV is one of my favorite sites and one of the best investments I have made for the program." ~ Jeannette in California
"I absolutely LOVE all of the ideas on your site. I am using Byrdseed TV to differentiate activities for my clustered students to work on when the rest of the class is doing something theyβve already mastered." ~ Wendy in Washington
