Vocabulary Development Strategies
Alike and Different
The Alike and Different strategy (Beck, McKeown, and Kucan 2002) gives students the opportunity to examine ways in which selected vocabulary words are both alike and different. It is best utilized after students have had some exposure to the chosen vocabulary words because students are required to analyze the key aspects of the words and make connections that deepen their understanding. Student should be provided time to discuss the words, the connections that exist among the words, and the reasons why students identifies those connections.
1. Identify vocabulary words from the unit that students often get confused or mixed up (i.e. numerator/denominator; expression/equation; permutation/combination; greatest common factor/least common multiple)
2. After writing the words on the board, have students complete the Alike and Different activity sheet for each pair of words.
3. Read the first pair of words aloud. Have students repeat the words after you.
4. Ask students to tell you what they already know about each word in the first pair.
5. Ask students to think about and discuss how the word pairs are alike (whole class, small groups, pairs, etc.) Have students record their ideas on the chart.
6. Ask students to think about how the words are different. They should record their ideas on the chart as well.
7. Repeat steps 4 – 7 with the remaining pairs of words. When the activity sheet is completed, discuss the similarities and differences of the word pairs as a class.
