Semantic+Feature+Analysis

Semantic Feature Analysis helps students discern a term’s meaning by comparing its features to those of other terms that fall into the same category or class. When students have completed a semantic feature matrix, they have a visual reminder of how certain terms are alike or different. Students find that the matrix provides a good summary of concept features that helps in reviewing for exams.
