A Few Sentences

Worksheet Description

This worksheet, titled “Analogies,” is designed to help students enhance their descriptive writing by creating analogies within given scenarios. The instructions at the top are concise, directing students to write a few sentences that describe each situation and to include an analogy for each one. By providing an example of a bully and his intended victim compared to a lion and a wildebeest, the worksheet sets a clear expectation for the level of creativity and thoughtfulness required for the task.

The worksheet lists three scenarios that students are asked to elaborate on: “two friends in a shopping mall,” “small children on a playground,” and “a gang of teenage boys.” These prompts are designed to be relatable and encourage students to draw from their observations and experiences. The scenarios vary in social setting and dynamics, allowing students to explore a range of interactions and relationships through their analogies.

Space is provided beneath each scenario for students to write their sentences, fostering a structured approach to the exercise. Through this creative exercise, students are prompted to think critically and inventively, employing their analytical skills to draw comparisons between everyday events and the wider world.
