The Concept Comparison Routine is an instructional method that teachers can use to help students understand and master key concepts. As part of the routine, a visual device, called the Comparison Table, is presented to students while the teacher follows a set of Linking Steps, and sequence called Cue-Do-Review.
An acronym that is used while completing the Comparison Table is as the follows:
C -- Communicate Targeted Concepts
O -- Obtain the Overall Concepts
M -- Make lists of Known Characteristics
P -- Pin down Like Characteristics
A -- Assemble Like Categories
R -- Record Unlike Characteristics
I -- Identify Unlike Categories
N -- Nail Down a Summary
G -- Go Beyond the Basics
I am really looking forward to using the routine and device. It is refreshing to see something beyond a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast concepts and to include a summary in this process.
