METAPHOR STRATEGY

The Metaphor strategy can be used to deepen students’ insights and to challenge students to speculate, apply their intuition, and perceive things in new and
different ways. Think of an area in your curriculum that lends itself well to the Metaphor strategy. Design a lesson that incorporates one of the three types of
Metaphor strategies (direct analogy, personal analogy, or compressed conflict) described by Silver. In your descriiption of the lesson, be certain to include the
following:
Indicate the area of your curriculum being taught.
Identify the Learning Objective(s).
Following the guidelines from the Metaphor Strategy media segment, explain how you would implement the type of Metaphor strategy you selected for this
lesson.
Identify the cultural implications that could impact the outcome of your lesson using this strategy.
Integrate instructional technology into this lesson for a more enhanced learning experience.
Briefly explain how this strategy relates to brain-based research on how to best facilitate student learning.
