Strategy: Analogies Keela Parsons March 19, 2013
Steps for Analogies Strategy • Select a concept familiar to the students that is analogous in certain ways to the new concept. • Introduce a blank analogy graphic organizer (or table). Label the new concept in the left column and familiar concept in the right column. • Brainstorm similar characteristics of the two concepts and write those in the correct column. • After the lesson students revisit the graphic organizer, adding or revising the information. • Students write a summary describing the new concept using the information on the organizer.
What is an Analogy? • Agreement or similarity, especially in a certain limited number of features or details • A comparison made to show such a similarity • Biology: the relationship between analogous organs or parts, such as organelles
Nucleus Function • Controls cell activities • Contains the hereditary material of the cell Analogous City Structure • City Hall http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/San%20Francisco%20City%20Hall.jpg
Mitochondria Function • Breaks down sugar molecules to release energy • Site of aerobic cellular respiration Analogous City Structure • Power Plants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_station
Golgi Complex Function • Modify proteins made by the cells • Package and export proteins Analogous City Structure • UPS http://info.tpj.org/watchyourassets/walmart/walmart_boxes_web.jpg http://www.siteselection.com/issues/2012/jan/images/UPS_BonnGermany.jpg
