The Concept Comparison Routine is potentially beneficial for a variety of purposes including teaching new concepts throughout a unit or as a review of concepts recently taught. The Comparison Table should be completed by the teacher in advance of the lesson, then filled in by both the teacher and the students as the concepts are introduced and taught during instruction. When thinking about the Comparison Table, keep in mind the useful mnemonic, COMPARING, as a reminder of the steps to follow:
C - communicate targeted concepts
O - obtain the overall concepts
M - make lists of known characteristics
P - pin down like characteristics
A - assemble like characteristics
R - record unlike characteristics
I - identify unlike categories
N - nail down a summary
G - go beyond the basics
I am looking forward to working through this routine to design and deliver a successful lesson.
