Writing Prompts. Polar Express Activities and Lesson Plans. Metaphor of the Week Program. Hello, teaching friends...sometimes we educators are simply swallowed by a tsunami of deadlines.
In March, it was the end of our grading period, I was enrolled in a two-credit night class, and our students all presented their final projects (in the evening to panels of community judges), and those three things stole every free moment that I had to work on any of my websites. So...I was and am behind; however, I have no grading to do this weekend, and I am catching up starting with this post! Here are the last three weeks' worth of "winning" metaphors that my students submitted into my classroom's "Metaphor of the Week" contest. My students write them and submit them, we choose a winner, and then my great student aide (Matt) illustrates them. It's turned into a fine process and is a new way to offer legitimate extra credit points to students who are taking ideas we've discussed to an extra place. So three weeks ago, the "Metaphor of the Week" prize went to seventh grader Ian.

We like it so much that we are now sponsoring two annual contests for students and their teachers.
