Free Analogies for Grades 3-6
Emma G.

I love this idea, but some of the sentence frames don't seem to make sense - "something common is very small," "someone who is dangerous lacks love," "something large is very enormous" (should be the other way around?), "a foot sleeps/rests in a person," "hot is an antonym for warm". Or is it me? I haven't used this sort of thing before!

Teacher Thrive

Hello! I think you may be misunderstanding the process of writing bridge sentences. If the bridge sentence doesn't make sense, such as the examples you provided, then that is how you know the word pair doesn't match the key words.

First, I truly appreciate the work that went into this product. However, I am extremely disappointed that I wasted the money on this item. If there was a way to get my money back and return it, I would. To me, this is an unusable product, because it covers the exact same content every week. I thought it would vary throughout the year to expose learners to different grammatical concepts.

I think these skills are really tough for my 6th graders, I asked a question of the author but didn't receive an answer.

Teacher Thrive

<p>Hi Gretchen. I never received your question. Did you email me? I would love to help in any way I can. Melissa info@teacherthrive.com</p>

Could this be assembled in a duotang?

Teacher Thrive

Absolutely! You might want to do a test run with the hole punches before you do a mass print, but I don't think you'll have any trouble.

Kelley Stone

Do you, or any teachers who have used this have an exemplar you could share? I think that would be a HUGE help to my students as we work through this!

Teacher Thrive

Unfortunately, we do not. However, there are detailed teaching notes and tips included.

Natasha M.

I love this resource, and I would love to make pages into edibale PFDs (for hybrid teaching), but the document is secure. Is there anyway I could have access so I can make these into edible documents for students at home? Thank you so much!

Teacher Thrive

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide an editable version of this resource because it was created using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. Also, we are prohibited from providing editable versions of resources that contain commercial graphics.

Where are the pages to print?

Hi Kayla, The student pages begin on page 34 of the pdf.

Hi!
I was wondering whether there was an A4 version of this booklet. I have purchased this already but would love to be able to utilise the tabs.
Regards,
Esther

Teacher Thrive

Hi Esther! It only comes in 8.5x11, unfortunately.

Good evening,
Would you happen to have this resource in a digital format that could be used/shared through Google and Google classroom? We are 1:1 and would love to use this resource digitally.

Teacher Thrive

Hello! Unfortunately, I don’t have a digital version at this time.

Theresa P.

On page 12 of the PDF, you used "right" when I think you meant "write". You might want to fix that.

Teacher Thrive

Thank you, Theresa! I just corrected the error. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know.

Buyer

Hi,
I teach secondary world language, and would love to use some of your materials, especially this Critical Thinking Booklet because of it's multi level application. I love the format, but would need to translate the doc into Spanish, so I am wondering if it is editable? If not, I will cross my fingers that someday you can offer these wonderful resources in other languages! Thanks for your time? Celeste

Teacher Thrive

Hi Celeste! Unfortunately, I do not have an editable version. I would like to offer Spanish versions someday and hope to find a reliable translator to do this. Thank you for your interest.

Norma H.

I would love to have both the depth and complexity task cards and response booklet for general non fiction articles and books. Please create these products, I'm sure they will be a success!

Teacher Thrive

Hello! Thank you so much for the suggestion. I will definitely keep it in mind for a future projects.
