  3. Introduction Our lesson is about colors. The location is a classroom, though this lesson can really be used anywhere. The level is first grade, so the audience is six-year-olds.As kids grow up, they learn their colors. However, for them colors are just colors -- they don't have any different categories. Yet. Our lesson introduces them to the most basic category of colors, the Primary Colors. You remember those, right? Red, yellow, blue. Not the new-fangled RGB used in computer graphics, or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black used in printing. Just red, yellow, and blue, like our shirts.

  4. Introduction Per Pritchard's plan including concept, rule, and critical attributes:Our concept is Primary Colors. The ruleis: Primary colors are Red, Yellow, and Blue.The critical attributes are: A) It's a color. B) It's red,yellowor blueC) The object doesn't matter; only the color matters.

  5. Introduction We will try to use both the concept attainment model and multiple intelligences in our lesson, using visuals and physical toys. And shirts.So Susan will begin with background information and the lesson. . . .

  13. Boulware & Crow Article The Concept Attainment Strategy is an instructional technique proposed by Jerome Bruner (Bruner, 1966; Joyce, Weil, & Calhoun, 2004) that targets the “big idea” or concept. The strategy focuses on the meaning or understanding of a concept rather than on what the concept is called. Learners are given specific steps to scaffold their thinking, which include viewing examples as well as nonexamples of a concept. Phase 1: The Concept to Be Taught. Phase 2: Testing Attainment of the Concept. Phase 3: Analysis.

  14. Joyce, Weil, & Calhoun Book Concept Attainment versus Concept Formation Concept Attainment: "search for and listing of attributes that can be used to distinguish exemplars from nonexamplars" (quoting Bruner, Goodnow, and Austin (1967)). (p. 108.) Concept Formation: basis of the inductive reasoning model. (p. 108.) Exemplars: a subset of a collection of data. (p. 111) Attributes: data that has features. (p. 111)

  15. Joyce, Weil, & Calhoun Book Joyce, Weil, & Calhoun, quoting (Tennyson and Cocchiarella (1986): "...the first positive exemplars presented should be the clearest possible prototypes..." (p.116)
