#3166 Analogies for Critical Thinking

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 60. Use these sheets to provide your students with
practice in answering questions in a standardized-test format.

Introducing Analogies
Directions:
Fill in the word you think should go in the blank.
1. Cat is to kitten as dog is to
_
2. Cat is to meow as dog is to
3. Cat is to paw as person is to
4. Cat is to fur as bird is to ---------------5. Cat is to tame as lion is to
What did you just do? You made analogies! An analogy is a likeness in some way between
things that are otherwise unlike.
A kitten is not a puppy. A kitten is like a puppy, however, because they are both babies.
Sometimes analogies are written like this:
C"-c-a-t -: -k-itt-e-n-:-: -d-O-9-:-P-u- - - --)
ppy
• The single colon (:) compares two items in a word pair.
• The double colon (::) compares the first word pair to the second word pair.
6. Rewrite question 2, 3, 4, or 5 in the analogy form.
