I have to give credit for next week's metaphor of the week to one of my blog followers--KCH--who shared some of her classroom metaphors. I totally "stole" the "Each day is a blank sheet of paper" metaphor as I go in to my fifth week of weekly metaphors. Below, you can find the sketch I made during my last period of the day today; my students (who were engrossed in their writer's workshop rough drafts) were fascinated with my process as I sketched and prepared the next week's metaphor. Several students stayed after class to explain how the metaphor-of-next-week was challenging their thinking already. WHAT A GREAT METAPHOR!!!
I completely invite those of you following this blog to share your metaphors too! Let's establish a community of metaphor sharers!
