Okay, the concept development model was not quite as smooth for me as the concept attainment model. I was very excited however because Tuesday after we had class on Monday night I was able to change up a planned lesson to include the concept attainment model. We were studying rural and urban that week in Social Studies. So what I decided to do with the concept attainment model was to create a definition of "city" based on the students perspectives of a city. The lesson went very well until the end. When we went to put our descriptors into categories we kindof went staight to narrow categories that combined a lot of items so we only had to sort one time. We also had a little difficulty with the actual definition. It all worked out and the kids loved the lesson.
I think I can use some more practice with this model.

I liked concept development better than concept attainment but they both were very good ways to help the students understand certain concepts.
