Introduction

Purpose of the Program The McDougal, Littell Daily Analogies program consists of nine teacher's manuals, one for each grade level from first through eighth and one for high school. It is designed to develop students' creative-thinking skills, foster a diversity of problem-solving techniques, and build reading skills through vocabulary enrichment. Because the exercises presented in the program encourage flexibility of thought and the application of a variety of verbal skills, they should help students Jay a foundation for future academic success.

Analogies and Antonyms Each daily lesson in Daily Analogies and Antonyms consists of two multiplechoice exercises-an analogy problem and an antonym problem. The analogy problems deal with relationships between things and between words used to describe things. For example, the analogy shoe: foot :: hat: head (read"Shoe is to foot as hat is to head') states that the relationship between a shoe and a foot is similar to the relationship between a hat and a head: A shoe is worn on a foot, and a hat is worn on a head. The antonym problems deal with words whose meanings are in some way opposite and are intended primarily as vocabulary-building exercises.

Teaching Procedure Each day, write the appropriate lesson's two exercises on the board, perhaps before the class begins. (When the students have become accustomed to the format of analogy and antonym problems, you may prefer to have them write the exercises for themselves, from your dictation.) Tell the students that for problem 1 they are to identify the lettered choice that expresses a relationship most like the relationship suggested by the given pair of terms, and for problem 2 they are to identify the lettered choice that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the given word. After they have had time to contemplate the exercises, ask volunteers for the correct answers. Be sure that students explain the reasoning that underlies their solutions. Then lead a class discussion, focusing on the meanings and relationships suggested by the given terms, by the correct answers, and by the incorrect answers. By discussing not only why the correct answers are appropriate but why the incorrect answers are less appropriate, the students will have a chance to apply their reasoning skills and gain a better understanding of verbal relationships.

At first, some students may have trouble articulating the relationships expressed by the analogies; and even when they have become adept at solving analogies, individual students will always be puzzled by particular problems. It is a good idea, therefore, to get students into the habit of creating sentences that define possible relationships between the given terms. For instance, when faced with the terms TYRANT: DOMINATE, the students might say to themselves "A tyrant dominates other people" and search the choices for a pair of terms that could logically replace tyrant and dominate in that sentence. If none of the choices seems to work, the students should seek for a different relationship between the terms or another way of formulating

iii

the relationship. For your convenience, the answer to each analogy problem in this book includes a sentence that can be used to express the relationship between the given terms and the terms of the correct answer.

Another useful technique, and one that can be applied both to the analogy problems and the antonym problems, is the elimination of obviously inappropriate choices. Encourage the students to try, when the answer to a problem is not immediately apparent, to identify choices that are not correct solutions. By eliminating these choices, they can focus their attention on the remaining possibilities and increase their chances of coming up with the correct solution. Since many of the words used in the exercises have a variety of meanings, the students should also be encouraged to consider all possible meanings of the words in a problem before settling on the most appropriate answer.

Occasionally, the whole class may be stumped by a particular analogy or antonym problem. In such cases, you may wish to ask volunteers to consult a dictionary to determine the meanings of unfamiliar words and to describe their findings to the rest of the class. The students should then be able to agree on a correct solution of the exercise.

TIme Management Each daily lesson should require no more than five to ten minutes to complete and discuss. You may wish to conduct this activity at the beginning of the period-perhaps allowing the students to ponder the exercises while you take attendance. It is important that you present the exercises daily, since providing the students with continual practice will build critical-thinking skills far better than, for example, asking them to deal with a week's worth of lessons in one twenty-five-minute session.

Oral Emphasis The emphasiS in Daily Analogies and Antonyms is on oral explanation-that is, on identifying solutions and describing to others the relationships underlying the solutions. If you wish students to do their work on paper, have them copy the exercises from the board or from your dictation, perhaps in their journals, and then write their solutions. You should still, however, conduct an oral discussion of the solutions to help develop the critical-thinking skills of the students, particularly those who may be having trouble identifying the meanings and relationships of the terms in the exercises.

Evaluation For teachers who wish to formally evaluate students' abilities, Daily Analogies and Antonyms contains blackline masters of two tests-a Midyear Test, to be administered after week 18, and an End-of-Year Test, to be administered after week 36. These tests, which consist of analogy and antonym problems similar to those that the students have been solving each day in class, can be reproduced and distributed to the students as paper-and-pencil tests.
