By Students sometimes struggle because they have made or adopted mixed analogies for the learning process. One way that teachers can sort out these unintelligible conceptions is to show how to think and plan through metaphor. My teacher says we're supposed to grow wiser from this lab experiment, but I feel stunted. Testing is like a foot-race.
Careful explanation helps one climb the heights of an academic discipline.
The teacher who masters a few tricks about metaphor possesses some powerful learning-magic. We can choose our metaphors. We are no longer duped citizens of the city-state of Oz but the Wizard of Oz himself. You can help students to imagine and explore an extended com-parison between themselves and a successful educational role. Then they are more likely to assume responsibility for achievement.
