Lesson 9. Comparing and Contrasting.

Mr Morris.
Lesson 9
15th Feb 2012.
Semester 1.

Comparing and Contrasting.

If you compare two things you tell how they are alike. If you contrast two things you tell how they are different. If you compare and contrast two things you tell how they are alike and how they are different.

It is important to organize your thoughts  and information before you do so. Here are two different ways to  organize information. As an example, we will look at the Smilodon, and  the Caribou - two animals that lived during the Ice Ages.


Compare and Contrast Questions Come in Three Different Formats!
                      
                      1. Compare: You are asked to explain how two or more things are alike.
                      2. Contrast: You are asked to explain how two or more things are different.
                      3. Compare/Contrast: You are asked to explain how two or more things
                      are alike and different.

Examples of how to use the compare/contrast words to answer compare/contrast questions: From the Link as an Example...
                      
1. Compare: How are the caribou and the smilodon alike?
Answer: The caribou and the smilodon are both mammals. The smilodon lived in the arctic regions during the Ice Ages, as did the caribou. Like the smilodon, the caribou was able to protect itself from predators.
      
2. Contrast: How were the smilodon and caribou different?
      
 Answer: Although the caribou and the smilodon were both mammals, they were very different in many ways. The caribou was a plant-eater,unlike the smilodon which ate meat. The caribou had blunt, rounded teeth for eating plants, whereas the smilodon had sharp, pointed ones. The smilodon became extinct at the end of the Ice Ages, in contrast to the caribou which still lives in the arctic regions today.

Compare and Contrast Questions Come in Three Different Formats!

                      2. Contrast: You are asked to explain how two or more things are different.
                      3. Compare/Contrast: You are asked to explain how two or more things
                      are alike and different.
