People often wonder about the effectiveness of analogies. What do theyteach? How do they work? Why are they so useful? What makes analogiesso effective is their ability to get students to think critically. Inorder to answer an analogy question correctly, the student has to forma logical relationship, or 'bridge' between two words. They must thinkabout how the words are related. Since words represent particulars (notuniversals), there is a nearly infinite number of ways they might berelated. It is the student's job to narrow this number, and focus onthe most essential relation -- the most basic aspect of the word's functionor definition. This page contains analogies worksheets. In theseworksheets, students must be able to recognize the relationship betweenthe words in a word pair and to recognize when two word pairs displayparallel relationships.

Each question has five answer choices, and 12 questions total. There are seven primary types of relationships used in our analogies:
