Compare and Contrast Two Settings in One Text

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Compare and Contrast Two Settings in One Text lesson plan also includes:
  • Activity
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

Look for the signal words! Scholars get both instruction and practice comparing and contrasting. Although it is completely scripted, it can also serve as a detailed outline. Demonstrate this as you read a passage (included) and search for words signaling similarities or differences. Visualize using a Venn Diagram (there is a blank template here). Give learners practice through two more passages. There is a completed Venn Diagram for the middle passage, however consider simply projecting the blank template for all three passages. Adaptations and word cards are also included.
