Critical Attributes Strategy

What is critical attributes strategy?
                The focal point of this strategy is to teach the procedural knowledge of a specific concept so that students will not form incorrect ideas and beliefs about the important topics at hand. 

Critical Attributes of Coral Reefs
Noncritical Attributes of Coral Reefs
Overfishing is hazardous to the balance of coral reefs.
Coral can be different colors.
Hurricanes, storms, etc. can cause an imbalance in the coral reefs.
Coral can be all different shapes and sizes.
Destruction of coral reefs affects humans.

Coral reefs are made up of plants, animals, and organisms.

  
We believe that in order to understand how and why coral reefs are being destroyed we first need to understand what coral reefs are and what they are made up of. 

Informational Knowledge of Coral Reefs
How the environment of the coral reef works.                 
The different types of coral.
Each part of the coral reef environment depends on each other.

Procedural Knowledge of Coral Reefs
The coral reefs are being destroyed by overfishing.
The coral reefs are being destroyed by storms, hurricanes, etc.
Imbalances of the coral reefs are occurring because of these factors. 

-In order to teach our topic we believe that it needs to be presented in an easy to understand language and there also needs to be accessible information such as quick definitions for coral reefs.  We also believe that too much information cannot be covered at once and new topics and subjects will be introduced at a steady pace. 



Hard Coral, Soft Coral, and Fish are just a few of the many things you find on a coral reef
