Abstract
Using metaphors, similes, and analogies is a long-established tool for teaching difficult threshold concepts, the fundamental concepts of a subject which, once understood and mastered, become embedded in a person’s knowledge. It is specially important when teaching computer science, which is littered with technical, often abstract, and complicated threshold concepts. This article presents practical approaches together with some common examples covering several areas of the GCSE Computer Science curriculum.
