Analogical thinking -part 2

 

 Today would be on ...analogical thinking pair work!!

This time i paired up with Esther and together we came up with some new creations and ideas.we chose to make "pencil' as our object of choice and also our theme as it is recommended.

 

 So using this image as a guild line , we started out with some sort of sketch depicting on different types of "pencils"

When you talk about pencil, what can you think of?

 

 

so here's how we started out. Other than the normal pencil that anyone can think of , other examples of pencil could be :

-mechanical pencil(plastic)

-mechanical pencil(metal)

-make up pencil ( acting as a lipstick or eye liner)

-pen knife( Is also a form of pencil?)

-compasses ( the pencil on the compasses?)

when you think pencils you can also link it with sharpeners ,erasers and also correction tape. well, when you think of sharpeners surely you will think its square in shape but the modern sharpener comes in even circle or oval shape. 

So that's briefly how we begin thinking .

Thus we associated pencil with examples of similes.

In total we came up with more than 20 ideas!
