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.
