I just read a funny article here that lists 56 best/worst analogies written by students. My favorite: "John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met." I also like: "He was as tall as a 6′3″ tree."



Take a break and read through some of these when you need a laugh!



If you are teaching your students analogies, you could use one from this website as an example of how NOT to use an analogy!
