Compare/Contrast
"Compare-contrast is the
process of identifying how things are alike and
different. Comparison refers to how two things are
alike; contrast refers to how they are different."
Teaching Strategies
that have been found effective in teaching the
compare-contrast text structure include:
- Teaching the
vocabulary that signals the compare-contrast
structures. Some compare signal words are: similar,
like, still, likewise, in the same ways, in
comparison, at the same time, in the same manner.
Some contrast signal words are: however, on the
other hand, but, yet, nevertheless, conversely,
rather, on the contrary, nonetheless, in contrast.
- Teaching the two
general kinds of compare-contrast structures, for
example: whole to whole and part to part.
explanation of these two can be found here
- Teaching the use of
graphic organizers while reading and writing.
