Introduction Think of an analogy as a wonderful puzzle, and one has a great interdisciplinary teaching exercise. An analogy is a type of comparison. An analogy is when a likeness is found between two unlike things. If approached as a puzzle, one solves the analogy by finding out how the pieces fit together. What links the words to each other? How can they be connected or tied together? What is the relationship between them? cat is to meow as dog is to bark Although the example above may appear to be easy, it is an exercise that involves cognitive processes and critical-thinking skills. One must comprehend the words read, categorize them, understand the connection between them, and then find a similar connection between a different pair of words. In this case, both meow and bark are sounds that a cat and dog make, respectively. Analogies written for this series will focus on a variety of word relationships. They will develop, reinforce, and expand skills in the following areas: ~ visual imagery ~ reading comprehension ~ paying attention to detail (word sequence within word pairs) ~ vocabulary development ~ synonym, antonym, and homophone recognition and recall ~ understanding different shades of word meanings ~ reasoning ~ standardized-test taking Students will be able to demonstrate mastery by doing the following: ~ working with both multiple-choice and write-out question formats ~ analyzing and fixing incorrect analogies ~ writing their own analogies in both question and sentence format For interdisciplinary practice, some analogies will be subject-specific (addressing science, math, or social studies, for example). Others will push students to think outside of the box, as creative and imaginative connections between words will be asked for. Students may then explain in writing or verbally (depending on skill level) how they created analogous word pairs or situations. Blank answer sheets can be found on page 61. Use these sheets to provide your students with practice in answering questions in a standardized-test format. ©Teacher Created Resources 3 #3165 Analogies for Critical Thinking
