This document provides instructions for a reading lesson to teach students how to compare and contrast elements in texts. The lesson involves: 1) creating a Venn diagram and summary with the teacher using an example, 2) doing it as a class for another example, 3) having students work individually or in groups on another example, and 4) doing an individual assessment comparing elements from stories read in class. The goal is for students to learn the skill through these scaffolded examples and practices.
The document discusses comparison and contrast in writing. It defines comparison as looking at similarities between two things and contrast as looking at differences. It provides examples of block and point-by-point organization structures for comparison/contrast paragraphs. It also lists different types of sentence connectors that can be used for comparison and contrast, including coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and paired conjunctions.
This document provides information on how to compare and contrast two or more things. It explains that when comparing, you identify what is the same, using words like "both" or "alike." When contrasting, you identify what is different, using words like "unlike" or "different." A Venn diagram is introduced as a useful tool to organize thoughts when comparing and contrasting, with similarities listed in the middle and differences on the sides. Examples of comparing oranges and bananas are given. The document concludes by suggesting topics that can be compared and contrasted and reviewing the key concepts.

The document provides an introduction to expository writing and comparison-contrast essays. It defines expository writing as writing that explains or shares information by revealing facts to a reader assumed to have no prior knowledge of the topic. It then defines a comparison-contrast essay as one that analyzes two subjects by comparing similarities, contrasting differences, or both, using factual details. Finally, it notes that transitional words and a clear structure are important to make the logical relationships between ideas in a comparison-contrast essay flow smoothly.
The document provides information on how to write a compare and contrast essay, including its structure and components. It discusses the introduction with a general statement and thesis, body paragraphs organized by point with topic sentences, and a conclusion restating the thesis. Examples are given for comparing beaches and mountains, and fresh vs canned foods. The key elements are introducing what will be compared, organizing points by topic in separate paragraphs, and concluding with a wrap-up.
This document provides instruction and examples for writing comparison and contrast paragraphs. It discusses two common patterns for organizing comparison/contrast paragraphs: point-by-point and block. The point-by-point pattern discusses each subject point-by-point, while the block pattern discusses all aspects of one subject before moving to the other subject. The document also provides examples of topic sentences, transition words to use, and sample outlines for organizing comparison/contrast paragraphs in both patterns.
This document provides instructions for writing a comparison and contrast essay. It explains that a comparison and contrast essay analyzes the similarities and differences between two topics.

The document also describes two methods for organizing the essay: point-by-point organization, where each paragraph addresses one point of comparison; and block organization, where similarities are discussed together in one section and differences in another.
This document discusses comparison and contrast as a writing technique. It provides examples of comparing trivial topics like food choices as well as more complex comparisons of legal systems or sports. The document outlines two basic patterns for organizing a comparison/contrast paper: block pattern and alternating pattern. The block pattern discusses one subject at a time in separate sections while the alternating pattern discusses points about both subjects together. Key elements to compare like audience, purpose, and outcomes are given. Finally, common transition words for comparing and contrasting are listed.

This document contains a teacher's weekly lesson evaluations and reflections for lessons taught between the 16th and 20th of May 2016. The teacher targeted using more independent learning strategies and a more literary approach in lessons. For year 8, a "Quote Quest" game engaged students in identifying quotes from Shakespeare that matched different themes, and students learned to choose appropriate quotes for writing. However, a year 8 lesson on assessment feedback was disrupted by poor behavior, rushing the second half. Overall, most year 7-9 lessons focused on annotating texts were successful, while a year 10 library lesson had some disruption that was addressed.
This document contains weekly lesson evaluations and reflections for Years 7-10 over the week of May 2nd-6th, 2016. Key points include:

For year 9, the teacher was absent but later used roleplaying to help students empathize with characters from Gerald & Sheila in preparation for an assessment.
The document contains weekly lesson evaluations and reflections from a teacher over the course of one week. The teacher taught multiple year groups and subjects.

This document provides an overview of a 7-week unit plan for teaching Suzanne Collins' novel The Hunger Games in a KS3 English class. Key elements of the unit include:
- Using the novel to spark discussions on morality and relationships through its dystopian themes.
- Developing reading comprehension through strategies like reciprocal reading and close analysis of quotes.
- Creative writing assignments like diary entries, monologues, and designing fictional tributes for the games.
- Comparing the novel's world to reality television and examining how tension is built in the opening paragraphs.
- Having students summarize chapters, compare characters to mythological heroes, and work to understand different perspectives.
The unit
Katniss volunteers as tribute to replace her sister Prim at the reaping. She is taken to the Capitol to prepare for the Hunger Games. Upon arriving, she is overwhelmed by the extreme differences between the impoverished District 12 and the excessively luxurious Capitol.
This lesson plan is for a 7th grade mixed-ability English class about The Hunger Games. The learning goals are for students to select relevant evidence from the text and analyze the text by comparing District 12 and the Capitol. Students will engage in starter, formative, and summative assessments including drawing a mockingjay, filling in a comparison table, and discussing similarities between the Capitol and modern society. The teacher provides scaffolding like a differentiated worksheet and plans for collaborative work. Students are expected to finish designing their own tribute for homework.
This lesson plan is for a Year 7 class studying The Hunger Games. The objectives are for students to understand the start of Chapter 3 and empathize with the main characters. Students will listen to an audio recording of Chapter 3, participate in a hot-seating activity where they ask questions of characters Prim, Katniss, and their mother, and write a paragraph summarizing the characters' feelings and which one they empathize with most. The teacher will help students who have difficulty writing the summary paragraph.
This lesson plan is for an 8th grade mixed ability English class on Romeo and Juliet. The learning objective is for students to write a draft of their newspaper article assessment on Romeo and Juliet. During the lesson, students will be given a sample article to analyze, asked questions to scaffold their understanding, and time to write a draft of their own assessment. The teacher will formatively assess students during these activities and provide feedback to support writing their drafts.
