So what? What is important to understand about this?
It is important to realize that a number being even or odd does not make the number Prime or Composite. What makes the number Prime or Composite is the ability of other factors (numbers) to divide EVENLY into the number in question.
FeaturesMain ideas Features Conclusion
Prime Numbers
Composite Numbers
There are only two factors (numbers) that can evenly divide into this number.
These are not just odd numbers. For example the number 21 is odd, but is not prime because 1, 3, 7, and 21 can divide evenly into 21.
Examples 2, 3, 5, 7, 29…
What is a Prime Number?
More than two factors (numbers) that can evenly divide into this number.
These are more common among the numbers. For example the number 35 is composite because 1, 5, 7, and 35 can divide evenly into 35.
Examples 4, 6, 25, 33…
What is a Composite Number?
These are neither prime nor composite.
These are exceptions to the rules of prime and composite numbers.
What about the number 0 and 1?
So what? What is important to understand about this?

Icebergs
The best approach is to compare a familiar term (students already know all about ice bergs)...
It is best when the terms being compared relate to the same overall topic
icebergs ice flows

FAIRY TALES

Setting Age of castles, royalty (medieval period) -- most of the action takes place in the woods
Evil witch who is mad because she wasnÕt invited to princessÕ first birthday party
Age of castles, royalty (medieval period) -- most of the action takes place in the castle
Evil queen is jealous of Snow WhiteÕs beauty & wants to kill her so she will be the most beautiful
Woodsman fakes SnowÕs murder.Seven dwarfs who live together invite her to live with them.
Fairies provide gifts in the hope that they will save Beauty from the witchÕs evil spell.
Snow bites poison apple - she falls into endless sleep. Handsome prince kisses her to wake her up.
Beauty pricks finger and falls into endless sleep. Prince Charming kisses her to wake her up
Same basic plot - beautiful young woman attacked by evil older woman. Friends try to help, but eventually fail. Handsome kisses young woman to break the Ņbig sleepÓ spell
Generally, the best approach is to compare something new (i.e.,Robinson Crusoe) with a topic students are already familiar (i.e., Huck Finn) -- Teacher usually determines the categories of comparison.Begin by having students identify the features of the familiar topic (serves both as a model & knowledge activator) Don’t forget the “So what” section.This is usually the most difficult part for both teachers and students, so it’s often neglected!

Robinson Crusoe Huckleberry Finn

About 25 yrs. old - barefoot, needs haircut, scraggly beard, long tangled hair, palm leaf hat
Ingenuous, clever, cocky, happy, superstitious, very outgoing and unintimidated
Ingenuous, clever, not cocky, not superstitious, very shy, but brave
Crusoe treats Óhis man FridayÓ somewhat like a slave, but comes to love & value his friendship
Treats Jim like a toy to entertain him in his fantasy world but comes to love & value his friendship
Crusoe was the best overall story, but Huck was the most interesting character because I can relate to the way he sees the world. IÕm like him in some ways.
Illustrates creativity & persistence & importance of others, regardless of their race
Causes us to examine ourselves, esp. regarding racism & how we treat others
This example illustrates how the comparison frame can be used when teaching vocabulary.

The Red Pony
Symbols in SteinbeckÕs The Red Pony
ŅOld green water tubÓ at the brush line
Ņgreat black kettleÓ at the cypress tree
Images evoked
Feelings which surface
Ņopposites & enemiesÓ
opposing sides of nature
The water tub offers cool, refreshing water to drink
Solace is offered by the Ņsinging waterÓ and Ņpurling streamÓ when Jody has been punished. The Ņbiting acid of meannessÓ leaves him at the brush line.
Represents the good, peaceful side of JodyÕs personality
Represents the nurturing side of nature. Represents life
The kettle is used for the scalding of pigs when they have been butchered.
The kettle and cypress tree are repulsive. Slaughtering pigs is fascinating, but it also made JodyÕs heart beat so fast that it hurt him.
Represents the evil, turbulent side of JodyÕs personality.
Represents adversarial side of nature. Represents death.
Steinbeck uses everyday objects as symbols that represent what he thinks are Ņbasic truthsÓ about life.

unknown (folk tale)Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack steals the Goose that lays golden eggs, climbs down the beanstalk, and cuts it down, killing the giant
Saddam sending Iranian troops to invade Kuwait to steal their treasure & oil wells
Involve greedy people willing to kill others in order to get treasure they want. Having no respect for othersÕ life or property.
One-on-one conflict. One person wins, the other looses, and nobody else is really affected (except maybe JackÕs mom).
Conflict affected tens-of-thousands of people. Many in Kuwait lost their homes and fortunes, thousands of Iranian soldiers killed by US, and world peace was threatened
Jack and Saddam displayed the same unethical behavior . Although SaddamÕs adventure affected thousands of people, the Giant was probably no less concerned or less hurt as any individual from Kuwait!
