Metaphors & Analogies: Power Tools for Teaching Any Subject Rick Wormeli

Metaphors and analogies are more than figurative language suitable only for English classes and standardised test questions. They are "power tools" that can electrify learning in every subject and at all grade levels. Metaphors show students how to make connections between the concrete and the abstract, prior knowledge and unfamiliar concepts, and language and image.
