Semantic Feature Analysis

What Is It?
With a Semantic Feature Analysis chart or grid, one can examine related concepts but make distinctions between them according to particular criteria across which the concepts can be compared.

How Does It Work?
A set of concepts is listed down the left side (or across the top; it doesn't much matter which) and criteria or features are listed across the top (or down the side). If the concept is associated with the feature or characteristic, the student records a Y or a + (plus-sign) in the grid where that column and row intersect; if the feature is not associated with the concept, an N or - (minus-sign) is placed in the corresponding square on the grid. For instance, consider types of government: democracy, dictatorship, monarchy, oligarchy, theocracy, and republic. What might be the characteristics of governments that might be associated with various types?

I think that SFAs are good for Social Studies when comparing and contrasting more than one thing.

I think that the Venn Diagram is a good visual and can be used with two or more ideas.

I think that SFAs are good for comparing different parts of stories, such as setting, characters, and plot.

I think that the Venn Diagram is more simplistic and easier to use with younger students.

I think that Venn Diagrams are best used for things that are very alike or very different. For example: 2 characters in stories (similar), or a poem and novel (different).

We think that SFAs are good for reinforcing vocabulary.
