Compare and Contrast Series: The What, The Why and The How of Comparing
In this episode:
Listen in as we talk about what the research says about the What, the Why and the How of making comparisons in your upper elementary literacy classroom
We talk about:
Listen to the first episode in our compare and contrast series. We are talking all about comparing, what it is, why it matters and how it impacts your literacy classroom.
Quotables:
-When we compare we are using a higher or thinking skill to discern the relationship between two or more things to decide how those things are similar to each other.
-It is important to teach students the skill of comparing because we are constantly asking students to make comparisons without first defining what that is and teaching them how to do it.
-Students need to be able to distinguish between things being similar or the same especially when it comes to comparing characters, settings or themes in the literacy classroom
