Description
This lesson, one of a series from ReadWriteThink, introduces students to the comprehension strategy of knowing how words work. Students learn semantic feature analysis, a strategy that teaches them to identify characteristics associated with related words or concepts. In this example, students examine folktales, myths, and fables and use semantic feature analysis to better understand these terms and the texts that they are reading. A link to an interactive Venn diagram is also found on this page. Several pieces of literature appropriate for use with this lesson are suggested. Less
