[|How we can apply in order to be effective teachers in education.]
Lets do an anticipatory test in[| "Analogies"]where all the class can participate interacting

==== It focuses on the mental processes that students can use to restructure and understand information. Classroom activities that ask students to identify similarities and differences include comparison tasks, classifying tasks, and the use of metaphors and analogies. It results in understanding content at deeper level. As instructional strategy, it includes various activities that help learners see patterns and make connections. For example, students compare things are similar and contrast things that express differences. ==== ==== The classification can be done by identifying features or characteristics of a group of objects or ideas, and they develop a scheme to organize those objects. Metaphors are created when two ideas or experiences are compared based on a common underlying structure. Finally analogies provide another way to identify similarities and make comparisons. Each approach helps the brain process new information, recall it, and learn by overlaying a known pattern onto unknown one to find similarities and differences. The learner will consider, [|“What do I already know that will help me learn this new idea?] This fosters relationships and connections to new understanding. Now lets see what are the similarities and differences of the drawing showing below. ====

=**Comparing **=

A likening; illustration by similitude; comparative estimate or statement.

[|Venn diagram:]
==== They are diagrams that show all possible logical relations between finite collections of sets (aggregation of things) were designed by John Venn in 1880. The [|Venn diagrams] are used to teach [|Elementary education assignments], set theory, as well as illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, and linguistics and computer science. ====

[|**Comparison Matrix**]
==== It describes and compares attributes and characteristics of items such as things, people, places, events, ideas, [|algebra,] and so forth. It has critical and key questions such as what items do you want to compare? What characteristics do you want to compare? And how are the items similar and different based on the characteristics? ====

=**Classifying **= to arrange or organize by classes; order according to class.

[|**Word Sort**]
 There are two types of word sorts: closed and open. In closed word sorts the teacher defines the process for categorizing the words by drills. This requires [|students to engage in critical thinking as they examine sight vocabulary, corresponding concepts, or word structure.] In open word sorts the students determine how to categorize the words, thereby becoming involved in inactive manipulation of words.

[|Leaf Classification]
==== [| All leaves possess numerous physical characteristics.] These characteristics can be used to create a simple classification system. ====

[|**Classifying Critters**]
==== Used specially by scientists to keep track of plants and animals. Every kind of plant or animal belongs to its own [|group] or [|“species.”] ====

= = =**Creating Metaphors** =

[|**Metaphors**]
====<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> are comparisons that show how two things that are not alike in most ways are similar in one important way. [|Metaphors are a way to describe something.] Authors use them to make their writing more interesting or entertaining. ====

=**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Creating Analogies **= <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">When students create analogies they identify relationships between pairs of concepts.
