Station 3 - Analogies
- What
Students must recognize the relationship between the first two words
then apply their understanding of that relationship to choose a partner word for completing the comparison.
- How
These analogies model the following four relationships between words: same meaning, opposite meaning,
one is a subset of the other, one has a causal relationship with the other. Students click on their word choice to
complete the relationship satisfactorily. All choices must be selected for the program to produce a score.

Why
Analogies are well known for their value in challenging thinking and asking students to transfer understanding
of one relationship to a new situation. They provide a teaching opportunity in thinking skills.
