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…

Steps

  1. Students receive two groups of example sentences. They ponder why they were placed into those two categories.
  2. We add three ungrouped examples. Now students decide which groups those examples belong in.
  3. We reveal the correct groupings then discuss the differences between the two groups. Group A features the similes and Group B uses metaphors. We close with a practice worksheet.

"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
