Writing Concept Attainment Lessons

For Teachers

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

How Many Will There Be? Desks

Give kids a taste of a sequence, let them build an understanding, and then see how far their predictions can take them.

Cram

Try this a simple (but surprisingly strategic) grid-filling game!

Art Lesson: One-Point Perspective

Let’s give our students an art history lesson while teaching them how to enhance their drawings using one-point perspective.

Not Like The Others: Natural Disasters

Four natural disasters. One doesn’t belong. But which one? That depends on your argument.

The Resiliency Tournament

Your students will set up a tournament to determine which person or character best demonstrated resiliency.

When students are told that they’re “smart”, what does this word actually mean to them? (Psst. It isn’t what we intended.)

Create A Civilization Introduction

Your students build a civilization from scratch — rivers, flags, calendars, currency, government. Social studies, science, and writing woven into one year-long project.

Engineering: Build A Bridge

Using real bridges as their starting point, students will construct bridges out of straws and paperclips.
