When i first saw this assignment i click all the links that were given and i could not think of a teaching metaphor at all! So i did a little bit of research online and found one that i really fell in love with. IT talks about how teachers have to dig deep through the fogg the snow and rain to get a childs true protential out. It discusses how when a child over comes an obstacle how happy and proud the teacher becomes. Thus all the fog and drearyness of the day clears up and the sun starts to come out. I also think that an example of this would be when a child is having a hard time understanding a topic that the teacher is disussing in class. When the students asks questions the teacher can better explain it to the student! Most likely there are several other students who are having the same trouble. When they all start to understand there knowledge of that topic is no longer foggy.
A teacher can also be like a weatherwoman! Because as a teacher youa re telling the children what they are going to be learning over the coarse of a year etc. You are instructing them the best way to do things and the way in which is correct. Like weather people ar doing with the weather they are saying what is going to be happening over a certain period of time and what to expect.
