Introductory Message
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both from
public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the learners
meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire the
needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the
module:

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their own
learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the
tasks included in the module.

The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the module.
Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities included
in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.

Lesson Word Analogy

1

Analogy plays a significant role in problem solving, as well as decision making,

argumentation, perception, generalization, memory, creativity, invention, prediction, emotion,
explanation, conceptualization and communication.

Analogies are such an important skill for students to master. Many standardized tests
use analogies to check for vocabulary mastery.

People often wonder about the effectiveness of analogies. What do they teach? How
do they work? Why are they so useful? What makes analogies so effective is their ability to
get students to think critically. In order to answer an analogy question correctly , the student
has to form a logical relationship, or "bridge" between two words. They must think about how
the words are related. Since words represent particulars (not universals), there is a nearly
infinite number of ways they might be related.

Analogies are useful in different subject areas to enhance learning of key concepts.
This makes them useful for assessment, but they can also be used as an effective learning
strategy as well. As students create incorrect analogies, analyse the relationships th eir
analogies are suggesting, and then correct them accordingly, students are grappling with
ideas, monitoring and revising their thinking, and otherwise actively consider the often
complex relationships between disparate things.

Here are some of the instructional benefits of this strategy:

 develops understanding of the nature of various kinds of relationships;
 helps students identify and analyze relationships;
 develops and refines students’ understanding of the specific vocabulary and
concepts that are used in analogies;
 develops critical thinking abilities in students.

 What’s In

Analogy Defined

Analogy basically means ‘‘resemblance of one object to another in certain aspects.’’

It is a way of stating a comparative relationship between two sets of terms.

What’s New

An analogy is often represented as follows: A : B :: C : D.

A and B (of the first set) are related to each other in the same way that
C and D (of the second set) are related to each other.

In this lesson, an analogy question consists of words related to each other based on some
logic and it is required to find a word/pair of words analogous to those given in the question.

To solve these questions, following two simple steps are to be followed

Step I
Identify the relationship between the pair of numbers/letters/words given.

Step II
Find out the other pair such that the relationship between the third and the fourth
numbers/letters/words is similar to the relationship that exists between the first and second
numbers/letters/words.

Now, it is clear that analogy is established, when the two pairs on both the sides of the sign
(::) bear the same relationship.

For example: kitten : cat :: puppy : dog

The colons stand for words, so that when you read it aloud, the analogy says:

Kitten is to cat as puppy is to dog.

In this case, the relationship described is between the young and adult animals. The two
animals being compared are cats and dogs.

Take a look at the analogies below to see if you can figure out how the words are related to
each other. This will help you understand the comparison that is being made.
 moon : night :: sun : day  kitchen : cooking : bedroom :
 feather : bird :: fur : dog sleeping
 hot : oven :: cold : refrigerator  apple : fruit :: carrot : vegetable
 ski: snow :: raft : river  football : field :: tennis : court
 smile: frown :: pretty : ugly  near : far :: open : closed
 cow : mammal :: snake : reptile  umpire : baseball :: referee :
 pencil : write :: scissors : cut soccer

What is It

When completing word analogies, begin by determining the relationship between

the first word pair. Then look at the first word in the second word pair, and choose the word
that has the same relationship to it as the first two words have to each other. Some other
types of relationships include class to item (fish: trout) and part to whole (door: house).

Here are some relationships that form the basis of many analogies:

 What I Have Learned

1. A word analogy draws a relationship between two words by comparing them to two other
words.
2. Analogies are such an important skill for students to master. Many standardized tests use
analogies to check for vocabulary mastery.

3. When you write, it is important to understand how words are related. A word analogy
shows how word pairs are related. Once you determine how the two words are related, you
find the same relationship among the pairs in the answer choices.

4. There are different types of analogies.

5. To answer an analogy question you must:

recognize the relationship between the words in the given word pair;
select the answer containing words related to one another in most nearly the same way;
recognize when two word pairs display equal relationships.

6. Approaches that may be helpful in answering analogy questions:

 try to determine the precise relationship between the words in the given pair;
 form a sentence that captures the relationship between the two words;
 then look for the answer choice containing the word pair whose relationship is closest
to that of the given pair and can be expressed in a similar fashion.
