Explain that an analogy is made up of two word pairs. Both pairs of words have the same relationship. Ask students what the “relationship” is between the two pairs of words in the analogy on the chalkboard. (A restaurant is a place where food is served; a bar is a place where liquor is served.)  \nDevelopment  \nTell students that until March 2005, the SAT test included analogies on the Verbal section of the test. Although the new SAT test (first administered in March 2005) eliminated Analogies from the Verbal section of the test (now called the Critical Reading section), analogies are still a great way to help improve vocabulary and critical thinking skills.  \nExplain to students that there are many different kinds of analogies. Usually analogies arepresented in this format:  \n[word 1] : [word 2] :: [word 3] : [word 4]  \nExplain that the relationship that exists between the words that are left of the double colon is exactly the same as the relationship that exists between the words to the right of the double colon. The analogy can be read as: Word 1 is related to Word 2 in the same way that Word 3 is related to Word 4.  \nList the following analogies on the chalkboard. (Don’t write the Relationship.) Help students identify the relationship between the pairs of words. Be sure to tell students that there many other kinds of relationships in analogies, such as part to a whole (e.g., minute: hour; petal : flower), object to its use (e.g., pen : write), type of…(e.g. utensil : fork or tool : shovel) and object to a  \nfunction (e.g., glasses: read) .  \nAnalogy  \noff : on :: up : down  \ntop : summit :: wicked : evil  \nbed : sleep :: school : learn  \ncarelessness : accident :: rain : flood  \ncold : pneumonia :: hot : scalding  \ncarpenter : saw :: surgeon : scalpel  \nRelationship  \n(Antonym)  \n(Synonym)(A place where…)(Cause/Effect)(Intensity)(Job-Related Pairs)  \nActivity  \nWrite the following six analogies on the chalkboard (or copy and distribute the Worksheet), using words from WordTeasers: College Prep. Tell students to first try to figure out what the relationship is in the pair of words in a given analogy. Then, have students select the best answer  \nto complete the analogy. Finally, have them identify the relationship expressed in each analogy.(Note: You may want to list the relationship choices on the chalkboard or worksheet.)  \nAnalogies Worksheet  \nDirections: Read the three given words in each analogy below. Determine the relationship of the words in the given pair. Look at the four possible answers. Select the word that completes the analogy. (Hint: The answer should be the same part of speech as the corresponding term in the complete pair.) Finally, write the type of relationship that the analogy presents.  \n1.   : abolish :: ruminate : ponder  \n(a) establish  \n(b) abrogate  \n(c) ruin  \n(d) annulmen","cbCaiqB9tn8hkk7v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqB9tn8hkk7v","pdf",664699,"English","# Overview\n## Objectives\n## Materials Needed\n# Getting Started\n## Development\n# Activity\n## Analogies Worksheet\n## Extension","[{\"question\":\"How do students determine meanings of new words in this lesson?\",\"answer\":\"Students use analogy word relationships to infer how meanings connect across the two word pairs.\"},{\"question\":\"What format do students learn for writing and reading analogies?\",\"answer\":\"Analogies follow the structure [word 1] : [word 2] :: [word 3] : [word 4], where the relationship on the left matches the relationship on the right.\"},{\"question\":\"What skills are practiced using the analogies worksheet?\",\"answer\":\"Students complete each analogy by choosing the correct word, then write the type of relationship shown (e.g., synonym, a place where…, intensity, cause/effect).\"},{\"question\":\"What extension activity is included after the worksheet?\",\"answer\":\"Students create their own analogies using WordTeasers vocabulary.\"}]","An Analogous Relationship - Building Vocabulary with Analogies | PDF"]
