Day 1: Activating Strategy/Mini‐Lesson/Warm‐Up

Lesson1 – Compare and Contrast Two Objects Connect: You might say…, 1. “Several weeks ago, we used the books The Hello Goodbye Window, and When I Am Old With You to compare and contrast characters and stories. Today we are going to compare and contrast two objects.” Teach: 2. Review the concepts of compare and contrast. Tell students that to compare means to find things that are the same or similar. For instance; _______ and ________have the same color hair. They are both blonde. Contrast means to find what is different. For example; ________and __________have different color hair. ___________has black hair and____________has red hair. Their hair is a different color. 3. Tell students that you are going to use a Venn diagram to help you organize the information. (Appendix B) In this lesson, we are going to use the Venn diagram to compare an apple and a banana. (Use Appendix A or a real apple and banana.) 4. Model what is the same and what is different about the apple and banana and record it on the Venn diagram. (Appendix C – Example Venn Diagram is provided.) Active Engagement: 5. Prepare Appendix B for student pairs. Demonstrate how students should each put their name on the top of one side of the Venn diagram. Direct students to compare themselves with their partner and record it on the Venn diagram. (You may need to model this using two students as examples.)

Link: You might say…, 6. “As you are reading today, compare and contrast two characters in your story. Think about how they are different and alike.”

Day 2 Activating Strategy/Mini‐Lesson/Warm‐Up

Lesson 2: Compare and Contrast Yourself With a Character * Prior to the lesson read the story First Day Jitters to students. Connect: You might say…, 1. “Yesterday, we compared and contrasted an apple with a banana. We found that there were similar and different. Today we are going to compare and contrast ourselves to a character in a book.” Teach: 2. Remind students that a Venn diagram is a kind of graphic organizer that helps you organize information. (Appendix B) Explain that you will use the Venn diagram to compare yourself to the character Sarah Jane in the story First Day Jitters. 3. Model how to complete a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting yourself with Sarah Jane Hartwell. For example; “Sarah Jane and I are both teachers so I will write that in the middle of my Venn diagram. Sarah Jane has two pets, but I only have one. I will write Sarah Jane has two pets in her circle, and I have a dog in my circle.” Active Engagement: You might say…, 4. Continue comparing and contrasting with students using the Venn diagram. (Appendix D – Example Venn diagram is provided.) Link: You might say…, 5. “When you read a fiction book, think about comparing and contrasting a character in the story with yourself.”

Instructional Activities

(Independent Time) All students are reading independently, in pairs, or a guided reading group. The teacher is conferring or working with guided reading groups.

Differentiation Scaffolds/Language/ESOL Interventions/Extensions/Enrichment/Other

Work with students that you noticed during the mini‐lessons did not quite have the concepts of different and alike. Use characters from books they are reading independently to discuss differences and similarities. For students who are not quite ready to use a Venn diagram, use simpler graphic organizers to organize differences and similarities.

Summarizing Strategies

(Share) Ask volunteers to share characters they have identified and compared and contrasted with themselves.

Connect: You might say…, 1. “We have been comparing and contrasting ourselves with characters in a story. Today we are going to compare and contrast two characters in the same story.” Teach: 2. Begin reading the book Miss Nelson is Missing by James Marshall. After you have read a few pages, use a Venn diagram to think out loud as you compare and contrast Miss Nelson with Viola Swamp. (Venn Diagram sample is included. (Appendix E) Active Engagement: You might say…, 3. Continue reading text and stop intermittently. Use the Venn diagram to continue comparing and contrasting with students. (Appendix E – Example Venn diagram is provided.) Link: You might say…, 4. “When you are reading today, compare and contrast different characters in your story.”

Lesson 4 ‐ Activating Strategy/Mini‐Lesson/Warm‐Up

Connect: You might say…, 1. “We have been comparing and contrasting two characters in one story. In our next few lessons, we are going to compare and contrast two characters from two different stories.” Teach: 2. Start by telling students that you will be comparing characters from two different books: Lilly from Julius The Baby of the World and Froggy from Froggy’s Baby Sister. 3. Read the story Julius The Baby of the World, stopping intermittently to record some details you notice about Lilly on the left side of the Venn diagram. (See example Appendix E) Active Engagement: You might say…, 4. Continue reading text while stopping intermittently. Use the Venn diagram to continue recording students’ observations about Lilly. (Appendix F – Example Venn diagram is provided.) Link: You might say…, 5. “When you are reading today, compare and contrast different characters in a story or a character from one book to a character in another book.”


Connect: You might say…, 1. “Yesterday, we read the book Julius The Baby of the World. We used a Venn diagram to record some of the details we noticed about Lilly.” Today, we are going to read the book Froggy’s Baby Sister. This time, we are going to list some details we notice about Froggy.” Teach: 2. Read the story Froggy’s Baby Sister, stopping intermittently to record Froggy’s characteristics under Froggy, on the right side of the Venn diagram. (See example Appendix F)

Active Engagement: 3. Continue reading the text while stopping intermittently. Use the Venn diagram to continue recording students’ observations about Froggy. (Appendix F – Example Venn diagram is provided.) Link: You might say…, 4. “As you read today, start to think about each of your characters. What are they like? What do they do? How are they similar and different to characters in other books?”


Connect: You might say…, 1. “In the past couple days, we have read the books Julius The Baby of the World and Froggy’s Baby Sister. We looked very carefully at the characters Lilly and Froggy. We used a Venn diagram to record what we noticed about each character. Today we are going to talk more about each character and possibly add more thoughts to see if there are ways both of these characters are the same. Teach & Active Engagement: 2. Review phrases you have recorded under Lilly and Froggy. Ask students if they want to add any more details. 3. Think out loud about what you notice is the same. For instance you might say…, “I noticed that Lilly had a great attitude about the baby before he was born. On the first page it says, ‘Before Julius was born, Lilly was the best big sister in the world. She gave him things. She told him secrets. And she sang lullabies to him every night.’ However, after he was born her attitude changed. On the second page it says, ‘After Julius was born, it was a different story. Lilly took her things back. She pinched his tail. And she yelled insulting comments into his crib.”

“I noticed something very similar about Froggy. Froggy also had a great attitude about the baby before it was born. On the fourth page it says, ‘He daydreamed about him all day. I will teach him how to swim…I

will teach him how to play soccer…’ However, after the baby was born his attitude changed. On page 16 Froggy says, ‘Polly’s no fun. I’m going over to Max’s and I’m never coming back!” When I look at the Venn diagram I noticed we recorded: Wants baby before baby is born, Mean to baby after born under Lilly. We also have similar comments under Froggy. We recorded: Wants a baby brother before baby is born; Thought baby was no fun after she was born.
