  27. Closing Activity: Synectics: The Power of Analogies • Analogies help learners make connections by linking new information with what they already know. • This link helps make new information meaningful. • Analogies can be used to show comprehension or to assist in comprehension. • Synectics is an engaging activity in which participants create analogies between newly-learned concepts and familiar constructs. CPD, K-12 Literacy, 2012

  28. Sentence Synectics • Each table has been assigned a setting. Brainstorm a list of items that could be found or classified under the setting. • Write an analogy between something you learned today (e.g. compound sentence, parallel sentences) and one of the items on your list. Each group member should write his/her own analogy. • Share your analogies as a small group. Choose one to share out with the whole group. • The Sentence • The Place • The Analogy Writing a complex sentence is like a three-sided cubicle. You need all three walls—the independent clause, the subordinate clause, and punctuation--to make it stand. CPD K-12 Literacy, June 2012
