Concept Development Tips & Template

Tips: You might recognize this model as the List-Group-Label strategy you learned in your Content Area Reading and Writing class, except with the Reshuffling and Generalizing steps added. This is a fun model to differentiate with, and works well as either a pre- or formative assessment. It builds on the Concept Attainment model really well, in that you can introduce a brand new concept with the CA model, but with this model, you shuffle paradigms and jiggy up what students think they already know into new knowings. (Did that make sense?)
