The Slide Presentation includes explanations and examples of each type along with student practice. At the end of the presentation, there are two student notebook pages which can be printed out in advance for students to complete as they view the slides. A completed version of the notebook pages is also included.

The Worksheet Set provides students with practice solving, identifying, and writing analogies. The sixteen types of these word relationships that are introduced in my two analogy PowerPoint presentations are also included in these practice activities.

The first four sheets review analogies four types at a time, and the two following sheets each include eight types for more in-depth practice. Additional activity sheets include cut and paste, multiple choice, and illustrating analogies.
