Here is a lesson that provides scholars with two opportunities to stretch their compare-and-contrast muscles. First, learners compare and contrast their experience reading the fourth stanza of If by Rudyard Kipling to listening to the audio version. Then, they delve deep into the poem's text to compare and contrast its themes with those found in the novel Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis.
