An analogy helps us understand something by comparing it to something else. Examples: “I saw lots of tiny ants moving in a line around the tree, like water in a tiny river.”

“ These are the keys that help us unlock the past.”

Classifying WordsWhen we classify words,

we determine word relationships.

Examples:Pg. 10 and 11 Unlock The Past- Build the FutureHow are these words classified?

Page 24: Rewind/fast forward, past/ future are antonyms.
