 C. Lesson Proper:
An analogy is a comparison between two things that are usually thought to be different
from each other, but that have something in common. In this way, it is similar to the
simile and metaphor. We use analogies all the time informally. In conversation, when
you compare one situation to another, you’re using an analogy. ‘Life is like a box of
chocolates’ is a simile that also compares analogous ideas–the uncertainty and variety
in life experiences with the same in a box of chocolates.

Analogy Format
In a formal academic analogy, four Items are separated by a series of colons, as in the
formula shown below.
A:B::C:D
The two items on the left (items A & B) describe a relationship, and are separated by a
single colon. The two items on the right (items C & D) are shown on the right, and are
also separated by a colon. Together, both sides are then separated by two colons in the
middle, as demonstrated here: Hot: Cold: Wet: Dry
To complete these, students have to identify, analyze, evaluate, and transfer. Consider
the following analogy: Fish: River::Bird:_____
1. Explain to students that an analogy is a way of comparing things.
2. Provide the following examples (or ones of your own):
finger hand toe foot
bear animal red color
3. Discuss how the two pairs of words are related in the same way.
4. Have students explain the sample analogies, i.e., hands have fingers, feet have
toes; bears are animals, red is a color.
5. Have students complete the analogy worksheets. For more advanced students,
provide copies of worksheets with the word choices hidden.
6. Discuss answers.
