Today we are going to learn about making comparisons.

– How things are alike and how they are different.

By the end of the lesson we will be able to make comparisons on our own.

Let’s start by comparing two dogs. How are these dogs alike and how

are they different?Basset Hound

Another way to organize your comparisons is using a Venn diagram.

Venn Diagram

A Venn diagram is made up of two circles overlapping each other.

Each circle is labeled for the items that you are comparing. In these circles you write what makes that item different and special.

In the middle you write the ways in which the items are the same.

Now let’s try making comparisons together using the book,
