The 30 images in this set
are integral to the concepts of naming two items and relating an associative
relation between them. For instance, the
dog and the dog house, after having been chosen as an associative relationship,
necessitates the students telling why he/she made the choice, and developing
and recognizing the functions and positions of the two items with respect to
each other.
The images may also be used
to aid vocabulary development, as students can be asked to identify common
objects. Associations may also be used
to stimulate class or group discussion, as students discuss the items and their
functions and/or potential use.
The images are intended to
provide the teacher with a nucleus of examples for use in a teaching
situation. The teacher should encourage
the students to discuss additional items with associative relationships.
The images will initially
present the student with an opportunity for language development exercises,
such as describing the images and comparing them with other images in the
series.The teacher should be prepared
to discuss certain aspects of the pictures and, where necessary, appropriate
new vocabulary should be introduced to the student.
Once the concept has been assimilated, it is suggested that
the student be tested to see if he/she can generalize the concept of real
objects, other pictures, line drawings, etc. Teachers will find many alternative uses for the basic
pictures and it is hoped that the sets will provide a basis for further
discussion and exploration of association activities.
Analogies develop thinking skills by reinforcing the ability to see relationships through comparisons and generalizations. Each set matches one card t..
