Critical and Creative Thinking across the Curriculum

Ridgewood Analogies, Book 3 Guide provides an overview of the usefulness of analogies and examples of how analogical thinking can improve students' skills in other academic areas. Suggestions about pre-analogy activities and an introduction to the workbooks precedes the answers.

This series of books, developed by teachers in the Ridgewood, New Jersey, Public Schools, is based on the curriculum they have been using with their elementary and middle-school students for the past 10 years.

Ridgewood Analogies 3 teaches students how to solve 5 different kinds of analogies that exemplify 5 different kinds of relationships using more complex vocabulary:

  •  Descriptive analogies
  • Comparative analogies
  • Serial analogies
  • Causal analogies
  • Categorical analogies

Within each category, students encounter 4 levels of complexity. In the novice section, students choose 2 out of 6 words within a frame, which are related in the same way, and connect them with an arrow. In the apprentice level, students complete an analogy that is missing 1 word by choosing a word from the Word Bank to complete an analogy. In the masters level students choose 2 words from the Word Bank to complete an analogy. The super masters level provides additional challenge for those students who have mastered the other levels.

Answer keys also contain an explanation of analogies, with examples of each type of relationship, and lesson notes.
