For Teachers
In a Concept Attainment lesson, we give students examples and non-examples of a concept -- without telling them what that concept is! Watch…

They're not islands! They're not peninsulas!

Steps

  1. First, students get a set of examples and non-examples to analyze.
  2. Then they get a set of ungrouped items. Which are examples and which are non-examples?
  3. Finally, I reveal the topic.
