| Steps: |
|
1. Identify a concept that you plan to teach (e.g.
civic responsibility).
|
|
2. Create 4 examples of the concept using a plus
sign (+) or a smiley face to indicate that it is an example
of the concept.
|
|
3. Create 3 non-examples of the concept using
a negative sign (-) or a frowning face to indicate that
it is a non-example.
|
|
4. Present examples and non-examples one at a
time in alternating progression.
|
|
5. Have the students guess what the concept is
as each example or non-example is presented.
|
|
6. Do not reveal the concept until all examples
and non-examples have been presented.
|
| 7. Use the positive examples to flesh out the qualities
or definition of the concept. |
