A seemingly easy task? Not exactly. So, do you know the difference? Try these: concept or topic?
Culture
Dance
Ecosystems
Ancient Rome
Conflict
Friendship
Waste
Continents
According to Merrium Webster dictionary, a concept is "an abstract or generic idea generalized from particular instances" and a topic is "the subject of a discourse or of a section of a discourse". Looking at the list, can you spot the abstract ones? If you can, you understand the difference!
So when do you teach topics and when do you teach concepts? And what about skills? All good questions that will be explored in The Imaginarium. So for now, next time you plan work for a class, think, is this a topic or a concept or a skill?
Adieu.
