  2. Introduction Purpose: This strategy is used to assist students in understanding and organizing critical vocabulary and key concepts from a reading passage or unit of study. Description: Students draw upon their background knowledge to generate relationships between ideas and topics within a category. The key features of these words are displayed on a grid that visually organizes and clearly presents important relationships.

  3. Step One • Select a category or topic for the semantic feature analysis.

  4. Step Two • Down the left side of the chart, list three-to-five words that name objects or words related to the category. These words should be familiar to students.

  5. Step Three • In the row across the top of the chart, list traits and properties shared by some of the words that are listed in the first column on the left side of the chart.

  6. Step Four • Moving through the chart, determine which objects/words possess each of the traits and properties listed across the top of the chart. Use a plus sign (+) to indicate that the object/word usually possesses this feature. Use a negative sign (-) to indicate that it does not. A question mark (?) can be entered when students do not know or are unsure.

  7. Step Five • When the chart is completely filled in, examine and discuss patterns. Assist students in forming generalizations about the objects/words in the category as well as in focusing on what makes each object/word unique.
