Rick Wormeli: Metaphors and Analogies

Have you ever struggled to get the point across to students? Are you seeking a way to raise or lower the complexity of a lesson? Consider using a metaphor to clarify your message, meet students' needs, and make the content stick. Discover how metaphor-making can become the most important aspect of your lesson planning.
To explore the power of instructional metaphors and analogies, join us in a provocative, yet practical on-line conversation through Stenhouse. It's my hope that our discussion will open minds and become a catalyst for creative thinking at this midpoint of the school year. It may fundamentally change the way you think about teaching.
Please visit http://stenhouse.ning.com starting the week of January 11 to participate in a new Ning group discussion and submit your best instructional metaphor. Deadline for submissions is January 29.
