Whichever way you decide to create it, your visual representation must include the following:

• Key Concepts: Identify and briefly describe the key concepts of both theories.

• Defining Differences: Identify what most significantly differentiates this theory from the other

learning theories discussed in this unit.

• Application to Classroom: Provide three (3) brief examples for each theory of how it might

be used in a classroom setting [a total of six (6) examples in all].

Requirements:

• Provide at least one (1) peer response that elaborates on your classmate’s ideas with further comment or observation, presents a relevant new idea or viewpoint for consideration, and raises a question, or politely offers an alternative perspective.
