Subject: English

Grade Level: Grade 7

Objective: To supply other words or expressions that complete an

analogy.

Learning across the curriculum:

1. Science - Comparing and contrasting different species of animals

2. Math - Solving mathematical equations using variables

3. Social Studies - Analyzing cause and effect relationships in historical events

Engage:

1. Show a picture or video clip of a popular analogy and ask students to discuss
what they think the missing word or expression could be.

2. Play a game of "Analogies Charades" where students act out analogies and their
classmates guess the missing word or expression.

3. Conduct a quick brainstorming session where students think of analogies they

have heard or read before and share them with the class.

Activity 1: Analogy Puzzles

Materials: Analogy puzzle cards, timer

Instructions: Divide the class into small groups. Each group will be given a set
of analogy puzzle cards. The students must work together to solve the puzzles
by filling in the missing word or expression. They can use the timer to make it
more challenging. After the activity, each group will present their solutions to
the class.
Rubric:

- Correct answers: 5 points

- Logical explanation: 3 points

- Teamwork and collaboration: 2 points

Assessment questions:

1. What is an analogy?

2. How can analogies help in understanding new concepts?

Activity 2: Analogy Bingo

Materials: Bingo cards (with analogies), counters, prize for the winner

Instructions: Distribute the analogy bingo cards to each student. The teacher
will call out analogies, and the students must find the corresponding word or
expression on their bingo cards and cover it with a counter. The first student
to cover five squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) shouts
"Bingo!" and wins the prize.

Rubric:

- Active participation: 3 points

- Correctly identifying analogies: 4 points

- Sportsmanship and fair play: 3 points

Assessment questions:

1. Give an example of an analogy and explain how it works.

2. Why is it important to understand analogies?

Activity 3: Analogy Race

Materials: Whiteboard, markers

Instructions: Divide the class into two teams. The teacher will write incomplete
analogies on the whiteboard, and one student from each team will race to
complete the analogy by writing the missing word or expression. The first
student to complete the analogy correctly earns a point for their team. The
team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Rubric:

- Speed and accuracy: 5 points

- Correct completion of analogies: 4 points

- Collaboration within the team: 1 point

Assessment questions:

1. How can analogies help in improving vocabulary?

2. What strategies can you use to solve analogy problems?

Explain:

1. Use real-life examples to explain the concept of analogies, such as comparing a

doctor to a stethoscope or a book to a library.

2. Provide students with analogy worksheets or handouts where they can practice
completing analogies and discuss their thought process with their peers.

Elaborate:

1. Conduct a group activity where students create their own analogies based on a
given theme or topic. They can present their analogies to the class and explain their
reasoning.

2. Assign students to find analogies in different texts, such as books, articles, or

poems, and analyze how the analogies contribute to the overall meaning of the text.
