ORIGINAL: WyrdRich C'mon, Real. Given that a handful of companies control the overwhelming majority of what makes it to broadcast, do you think for even a micro-second that there would be anything but smoke and mirrors on The History Channel? Having it hosted by one of the most discredited people in the field just shows their contempt for those who are REALLY on their trail. They have rules they have to go by and they are doing just that. Have you researched it at all? Do you know who the top "lizard is? who is king of the hill? Ffs if you truly believe in shape shifting lizards you need medical help. GET A GRIP Metaphors help us describe, visualize, and make sense of the world around us. For example, a possible metaphor for the brain is a computer. The images this metaphor creates help us to make sense of something complex -- many would consider the brain, like the computer, to have intelligence, memory, and organization, and perhaps even to be user-friendly. Teaching is also something that is very complex. Metaphors offer a great way to help create images for others of what teaching means to you. For example, the metaphor of an octopus might evoke the image of a teacher with many "arms" reaching out to the needs of many students; the metaphor of a sheep herder might create the image of a teacher who is guiding a "flock" of students in a particular direction; the metaphor of a social director might form the image of a teacher who offers students a wide range of activities to interest them; and the metaphor of a decathlete might produce the image of a teacher who is required to be talented in many events in order to be successful at his/her job. As you can imagine, just as the role of a teacher changes though the day, so does his/her metaphor. And, just as every teacher has his/her own style of teaching, every teacher's metaphor for teaching is different. Not only are metaphors a wonderful way to portray your understanding of teaching to others, they are a helpful way for you to focus on your own teaching style. By studying your own teaching metaphors, you can reflect on the methods and practices that accompany particular metaphors and how they impact your classroom. Further, you may find that using a different metaphor that you believe represents a new teaching style is an effective way to implement change in your classroom. hope that helps explain it to you
