I enjoy the process of cooking popcorn. You pour some oil in the pan, wait for a little while for the pan and oil to be heated up, throw in the seeds, cover the pan and wait..... Then suddenly, you will start to hear popping sounds. Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop....one by one, the seeds begin to explode and you get the white fluffy popcorn.
I began to associate popcorn with students recently. Students are on their paths to understanding things around them. Whenever they achieve a certain milestone, it is just like a seed popping. The heat and oil are stimulants to help achieve the desired results. Well, a teacher could be the heat factor considering that they are always there to motivate and push the students along the way. Oil could be represented using technology or books and so on.
What an analogy by Jo! Haha....
