Motivation
Activity 1: Give ‘me a Clue!

Clue words can be used to find ideas and facts that two things have in
common as well as those that are unique to each other. Below are just a
few clue words; you may add the list if you know one. Using the clue
words, write your observation about how the poem and song are written.
Write your answers in a sheet of paper.

Presentation of the Topic

Compare and contrast in relation to reading skills, have specific

meaning and function. Compare, in relation to reading, refers to the
process of identifying the similarities and differences between two things.
On the other hand, Contrast refers to identifying only the differences
between two things. While the distinction between these two terms may
appear on the surface to be quite subtle, it is important that students can
accurately differentiate between the two concepts to ensure they are able
to answer questions and prompts accurately. An effective approach where
students can coherently use this skill is to follow the following steps:

Analyze the question. It is very important that you clearly understand

what exactly the question is asking you to do. If, for example, the question
asks you to contrast the opinions of two critics on the use of metaphor in a
poem, you need only to focus on the parts of the text where the critics
deal with metaphor and, furthermore, you need only focus on where these
two opinions differ. On the other hand, if the question asks you to
compare the views of the two critics, you must focus on both similarities
and differences in their answer.

Identifying Similarities and Differences in the content. Once you

identified the nature of the question, you can then start to read the text
and take note of the similarities and 5 differences in terms of content. You
can begin by highlighting or underlining the appropriate information in the
text. It is often helpful for you to use graphic organizers to visually display
the information you extract. Venn diagrams are particularly suitable for
displaying comparisons as they can usefully display areas of difference, as
well as any overlapping similarities.

Identifying similarities and differences in the structure. This will require

you to give consideration to the genre of each text. Often, you are asked
to compare texts that are in the same genre. Sometimes, however, you
will be asked about texts which share a common theme, but are presented
in different genres. You may also look at a variety of elements of structure,
including how the text is presented in terms of:

a. The length of sentences and paragraphs

b. The progression of ideas and arguments
c. The point of view expressed (Informative? Emotional?)
d. The use of stylistic elements such as irony, humor, emotional
appeal, etc.
e. The setting, the characters, and plot in fiction
f. The use of facts and statistics in nonfiction.

Identifying Similarities and Differences in Media. Advances in

technology make it even more important that you develop your
literacy skills in media beyond the printed world. When reading a
text, you must recognize if the text is visual or audio in nature too.
You will encounter texts whether in print or online, which contain
information presented in a variety of ways, including diagrams,
charts, photographs, and illustrations. Online texts may contain
embedded videos and audio tracks. These elements should not be
ignored as they are intrinsic part of how text operates and,
 therefore, you should be prepared to compare and contrast these
too
