Analogous thinking is already a part of many classrooms. The
materials in this book transform that thinking into a focused
and systematic program in the content areas. Analogies are being
used successfully in kindergarten through twelfth grade in the
Ridgewood, New Jersey, Public Schools. Teachers developed this
curriculum to help students learn to solve problems and to think
critically. The processes involved in solving analogies in the
content areas empower students. Thinking analogically requires
learners to: *acitively process information *make important
connections *use information and skills to identify
relationships *construct relationships and generate new
knowledge *improve understanding and long-term memory. - Type:
