Compare and Contrast Texts How are these two pictures similar? How are they different?

How to Compare and Contrast Texts For fiction texts, ask yourself: What is the main idea of each story? What is the setting of each story? Who are the characters? What are they like? What is the plot of each story? What are the conflicts? How are they resolved?

How to Compare and Contrast Texts For nonfiction texts, ask yourself: What is the main idea of each selection? What is the subject of each selection? What is the scope of each selection? What is the author’s purpose in writing each selection? How is each selection organized?

Compare and Contrast Texts Many kids spend the summer hanging out with friends, spending time outdoors, and resting. Others use the time off from school to work hard and save money. This summer I am going to camps from June 7–July 3. Then, I will return home and help my parents pack our house and move to the other side of town. On August 16, I plan to visit my grandmother for her birthday. I also plan to swim, golf, and cook out as much as possible, if there’s time! TEXT 1 TEXT 2

Guided Practice with Compare and Contrast Texts Read the passages below. Then create a diagram that shows the similarities and differences between the two passages. A Foul Stench in San Francisco Who would want to visit a flower that stinks? In San Francisco, 16,000 people visited the San Francisco Conservatory to do just that. Ted the Titan, an almost nine-foot tall corpse flower, was a sight to see. Corpse flowers may bloom as infrequently as every 15 years, and most only keep their bloom for a day. But during that time, Ted the Titan emitted a most foul smell. The smell has been compared to that of rotting meat. This smell is used to attract flies that pollinate the flower instead of bees. Scientists have yet to discover the chemistry for creating this horrible smell.

Guided Practice with Compare and Contrast Texts Read the passages below. Then create a diagram that shows the similarities and differences between the two passages. The Sweetest Flower Portland, Oregon hosts the largest rose festival in the United States. One of the most extravagant events of the festival is the Grand Floral Parade, which is attended by over 500,000 spectators. It is the second largest all-floral parade in the country. Why is this rose festival so popular? Portland is home to the International Rose Test Garden. This garden is the oldest rose test garden in the United States and is open to the public. The rose section contains the most beautiful, best smelling, and the most varied roses in the country. When the roses are in bloom, the visitors to the garden are overwhelmed by a quite heavenly smell.
