Description
Word analogies are one of the most effective ways to build vocabulary while simultaneously developing critical thinking skills. Unlike vocabulary activities that require students to memorize word definitions, word analogies develop a deep understanding of a word meaning by exploring the relationships between words. When students form logical connections between words, they create a mental network of ideas, which deepens understanding and increases retention. While solving word analogies, students are contextualizing the words as they search for word relationships.
When students work with analogies, they…
•expand and deepen their vocabulary.
•understand the relationships between ideas and words.
•recognize and understand multiple-meaning words.
•think critically and apply logical reasoning.
•learn to decipher word meanings based on context.
•build a network of understanding that improves retention and aids future learning.
When complete, this bundle will include:
This bundle includes everything outlined below for grades 7-10. It is PACKED with materials that will allow you to effectively use word analogies with your students. You will be provided with tools to break down word analogies in a scaffolded manner so that your students are successful from the very beginning. There are several versions of the materials included which will allow you to perfectly differentiate to meet the needs of your students.

Materials are good, but they focus in just a few strategies of critical thinking, used repeteadly. I miss some more depth and breath on thinking teaching
Very nice product.
I took a chance on this.....I was hoping for something that the student could use independently. But it's created for the classroom where the teacher would speak as s(he) "flips" through the slides.
I'll still use it in my own direct instruction.
I like this, I would love it if I could move things around to match when my kids learn concepts. I don't want kids to have an activity that I would use as a morning work, individual, on-their-own, to frustrate them because this has fractions before they've learned them, or whatever. I had kids who became very frustrated by the fact that they hadn't learned something at the beginning of the year, but it was introduced in this packet. It also meant I had to either do a mini-lesson for them, weeks before something was introduced, or just show them how something was solved when we went over the answers, rather than letting them figure it out, because it was a morning activity. I don't like that about this product. I understand about copyright, however, there are other sellers and products that do allow editing, which I've since purchased so that I CAN tailor to my classes. This was somewhat of a waste of money.
Hello. I hope you will find a use for this in your classroom at some time in the year. I understand your desire to prevent your students from becoming frustrated. I have always found it beneficial to present unfamiliar concepts to my students, as this is representative of "real life". I can assure you that if you do use the first few weeks of the resource as a a guided instruction opportunity (see teaching notes), your kids will catch on in not time and be off and running. Also, please note that an entire 2 weeks is provided in the preview. Best of luck with your school year!
Good resource.
The roles are really clear and the students responded well. I am using these also for information texts.

The 8th grade version will not allow me to print copies without the answers?
Hello, Jerome. You should be able to select the pages you want to print, rather than printing the entire file.
If you're still experiencing issues, please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
I purchased yesterday and I am having issue locating the google classroom version which has the google forms quiz. The teacher page says that is included.
Hello! They are in the PDF files for each grade level, around page 271.
Hello, One last question. Is this the middle school level? What is the difficulty level? are they useful for standardized tests? when you say 7th, 8, 9th grade does the complexity grow in the list of words you used?
Yes, this would be from middle school to early high school. The words and the relationships presented in the analogies get more challenging at each level. If the standardized test includes vocabulary-specific tasks, then these could be helpful. It just depends on the test.
Hi I am looking for analogies for my child who is preparing for standardized test middle school level that has analogies. Are these useful? how can I practically use them because they seem to be 1000 pages, it will be tough to print/navigate. Do you have a different version? TIA
Hello Chaitanya! Thanks for reaching out. The page count is high because it contains several versions of the same content. The multiple versions allow various levels of support for the students. Once you see the version that best fits your child, you can just print that. I also include Google Form versions if you'd like to avoid printing altogether.
Hi--Is there a 5-6-7-8 bundle for middle school?
Laura
Hi there! We have two bundles for Analogies. This one and for grades 3-6. Unfortunately, we don't have other bundles for these. We do have a Build Your Own Bundle option on our off-site store that you can check out here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
Thanks
Hi Kimberly! The links are located toward the end of each PDF. The Table of Contents for each PDF will specify the exact pages.
I cannot open the Word/PDF file. I can open the powerpoint. Can you send them to me in a different format/way?

Not to worry. Please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
Are any of the analogies in this product copied from your Get to the Root of It-book 1 and book 2 products?
Hi Kim! No, they are all completely different.
Would you consider doing a middle school bundle for grades 6-9? Thank you!
Hi Donna! In order to avoid confusion and prevent duplicate purchases, I’ll only be offering the two bundles (3-6 and 7-10). Thank you for your interest.
