Writing Fix: Responding to Comparison/contrast: Word Splash Sentences [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

In this PDF comparison/contrast lesson, students learn a word splash writing activity which asks students to craft meaningful sentences that utilize content vocabulary words. Students-alone or in groups-examine a collection of vocabulary words related to more than one concept; then, they negotiate how to use some or all of those words in sentences to show they understand the meaning and the relationships of the words.
