Choose a disease caused by a virus. Find out what the microscopic virus looks like. Create a character using the microscopic virus as a starting point for your character. Also on your page, create a six word memoir that represents your disease and virus without explicitly telling us what the disease is.

Creating Seemingly Unrelated Analogies
Creating Seemingly Unrelated Analogies
1. Pick The Content
First, we need to pick two pieces of content. I chose the human body and a volcano. You can choose whatever you’d like. The less obviously connected, the better. The sense of excitement in finding connections is greater when the ideas seem impossibly distant.
2a and 2b. Brainstorm Terms
Next, we brainstorm the most important terms for each of the two ideas. This is language of the discipline.
Treat the two content areas as two separate tasks (2a and 2b!). Don’t start connecting yet. Just get lots of ideas down. What are the essential terms/words/ideas/details of the human body? What about volcanoes? The bigger the list, the better.
3. Connect One Term
Only now do we look for a connection. Pick one term from Content #1 and then browse for a related idea in Content #2.
4. Now Keep Connecting
Then, once students start to get it, let them build out more connections using other terms. Go in both directions, (human to volcano and volcano to human). This will trigger more ideas than just thinking in one direction.
