Description: Use active learning to develop concept knowledge. Students draw in response to directions on full-color, wipe-off pictures. The 50 8 ½"x 11" illustrated cards have engaging characters like Zippy, Tippy, and the Tweeter Triplets that capture students' attention. Students add on to each picture and illustrate a variety of concepts. They can practice the targeted concepts over and over again with the erasable markers. The manual has two lessons for each card. Each lesson targets two or three related concepts. Over 150 concepts are organized in the following categories: -Attributes -attributes include hard/soft, heavy/heavier/heaviest, same/different, thick/thin, horizontal/vertical, and more -e.g., thin/fat: "Find the fat pig. His name is Henry Hog. Draw a red "H" on Henry. Find the thin cat. Draw black stripes on the thin cat." Spatial -concepts such as above/below, top/middle/bottom, next to, left/right, corner/center, and more -e.g., in/on: "Draw two red butterflies on Monty's hat. Draw some green grass in Monty's jar." Quantitative -concepts include half, few, less, every, some, pair, several, another, most/least, and more -all/none: "None of the birds should have red tail feathers. Change all of the red tail feathers to black tail feathers." Temporal -concepts are first/next/last, first/second/third/last, and before/during/after -e.g., before/after: "Before Ana went to the hair salon, her hair was straight. After she went to the hair salon, her hair was curly. Give Ana curly hair."
