Compare and Contrast

​Ms. Palomo

Learning Goal: I can ANALYZE (break down) texts so that I can compare and contrast by

1) Categorizing how they are the SAME

2) Categorizing how they are DIFFERENT

How can you show this?

By creating a graphic organizer and defending your choices by supporting it with text evidence!
