1. Why did you miss the metaphor in Tom Johnson's post, or, if you "hit the nail on the head", why do you think you understood the metaphor and why do you think that others in the class missed the metaphor?
-I don't know why I missed it. I guessI am just so use to seeing them that I just didn't think anything about it.
2. What metaphors have you encountered since I asked you to create a log of them?
-I don't think I have encountered any lately but one of my favorite is "it's raining cats and dogs".
3. What other things can we do as educators to help our students to understand and to use metaphors?
-I think letting students try and making some up themselves and having worksheets
4. Why do we use metaphors?
-I looked up the defination of it and it says, Metaphors expand our way of thinking about things. It requires one to use prior knowledge to decipher the real meaning of what is being stated.
