SynecticsSix Steps That Must Be Followed
![Page 6: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Step OneJournal entry describing an abstract noun.
![Page 7: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Step TwoProviding analogies.
![Page 8: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Step ThreeMake one of the analogies personal.
![Page 9: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Step FourProvide tension; conflict.
![Page 10: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Step Five• Students are finally ready to write an original metaphor.
![Page 11: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Step SixStudents compare their new writing with their original definition of an
abstract noun.
![Page 12: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PoetryStudents are now ready to look at metaphors written by professional
poets and see their inventive comparisons.
![Page 13: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Thematic UnitsStudents now have an important skill necessary to approach thematic
units. Whether reading Fahrenheit 451, Romeo and Juliet, or Lord of the Flies, students will see how metaphors intentionally used help readers understand theme.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.“I would not give a fig for the simplicity on this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity.”

Design is highly personal, yet disciplined by a common purpose and a common language.• “Teachers are taught to make rational selections among alternative
activities rather than to create new alternatives. They are encouraged to use predetermined formats and structures rather than to think metaphorically, creatively, and reflectively about the work they are trying to get students to do” (Schlechty, 2011, p 50).
![Page 16: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Synectics• Creating something new.• Making the strange familiar.
![Page 17: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Models of TeachingBruce Joyce, Marsha Weil, and Emily Calhoun• “Synectics is designed to increase the creativity of both individuals
and groups. Sharing the synectics experience can build a feeling of community among students” (Joyce, Weil, & Calhoun ,2004, p. 177).

Exploring Social Problems

Problem Solving
![Page 21: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Creating a Design or Product
![Page 22: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Broadening Perspective of an Abstract Concept
![Page 23: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Phase I: Description of the Present Condition• Teacher has students describe the situation or topic as they see it
now.• I Forgot My Phone - YouTube
![Page 24: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Phase Two: Direct Analogy• Students suggest direct analogies, select one, and explore (describe) it
further.How is a cell phone like a bathtub?How is it like a book?How is it like ballroom dancing?How is it like a pair of scissors?
![Page 25: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Phase Three: Personal Analogy• Students “become” the analogy they selected in phase two.Be the cell phone in the video. You’re at the attempted marriage proposal. You’re at the birthday party. You’re with your owner when he goes to bed. How do you feel?
![Page 26: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Phase Four: Compressed Conflict• Students take their descriptions from phases two and three, suggest
several compressed conflicts (oxymorons), and choose one.
![Page 27: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Phase Five: Direct Analogy• Students generate and select another direct analogy, based on the
compressed conflict (analogy).
![Page 28: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Phase Six: Reexamination of the Original Task• Teacher has students move back to original task or problem and use
the last analogy and/or the entire synectics experience.• (Sanders & Sanders, 1984).
• Write a paragraph about the use of cell phones,
![Page 29: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
So what can we learn from Socrates?Socrates used synectics.
![Page 30: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Synectics• Socrates compared himself to a gadfly, the horsefly that stings the
intellectually and morally sluggish citizens of Athens with his questioning.
![Page 31: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Synectics• “Good teaching traditionally makes ingenious use of analogies and
metaphors to help students visualize content” (Gordon, 1961).
![Page 32: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Synectics• “My art of midwifery is in general like theirs [real midwives]; the only
difference is that my patients are men, not women, and my concern is not with the body but with the soul that is in travail of birth.”
![Page 33: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Synectics• “And the highest point of my art is the power to prove by every test
whether the offspring of a young man’s thought is a false phantom or instinct with life and truth.”
![Page 34: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Synectics• “Those who frequent my company at first appear, some of them,
quite unintelligent, but, as we go further with our discussions, all who are favored by heaven make progress at a rate that seems surprising to others as well as themselves, although it is clear that they have never learned anything from me.”
![Page 35: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Synectics• The many admirable truths they bring to birth have been discovered
by themselves from within. And the delivery is heaven’s works and mine.”
![Page 36: Metacognition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f76550346895dce7c7c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
So what can we learn from Socrates?

Barry Schwartz• A wise person is made and not born.
