Today in E.L.A. classes we started our comparing and contrasting study. We were introduced to the topic through a fun, interactive game on a website called Comprehension Upgrade. In the game, we used a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast:- volleyball and basketball
- wolves and dogs
- The U.S. Flag and The United Kingdom Flag
- coniferous trees and deciduous trees
We hope you liked your introduction to studying how things are alike and different. Later this week, we will be incorporating European Literature into our study as we compare and contrast the American version of Cinderella to the British version of the story, Cap O' Rushes.
Want to play some more comparing and contrasting games? Try out the interactive web activity: Help Lee Decide.
You can use the skills you have learned to help Lee. He is a high school student trying to make a decision about a summer job. Come back and leave a comment and tell us what you learned.
Ms.Launey and Mrs.Lopez
P.S. Have no fear, The Weekly News Broadcasts will start back up again when Ms.Launey is fully recovered. We will make sure you are still updated with classroom happenings through our blog posts.
