Drawing on your life writing [autobiography and teaching biography], identify a metaphor (or metaphors) that describe you as a teacher." (Bullough & Gitlin, p. 50. In other words, as you wrote your autobiography, you repeated certain themes in your text. These themes could be teacher (you) as (authoritarian, guide, idealist, lecturer, partner, etc.). Then after identifying your metaphor, write a paragraph explaining why you chose this metaphor that represents you as an educator.
