Provide "acknowledged body of knowledge" related to the concept. Emphasize the most significant aspects of the concept in an organized, organic manner. Present information sequentially so students see continuity. Draw attention to important, discrete details; don't swamp students with myriad facts.

What is Organization? (An inductive approach)

Objective: The student will be able to define and name critical attributes of organization.

Activity: An Inductive Look at Organization. Together discuss organization and what it means. 1) Students write definitions. 2) Share. List critical attributes. 3) Write a final definition. 4) Teacher generates examples, nonexamples. Check student understanding. 5) Students write examples, nonexamples and check each other.

Assessment: Correct identification of critical attributes; self generated examples provide measure of mastery.
