Compare and ContrastAsk students to write some comparison and contrast sentences of their own.• For example, this stem calls for comparison:

__________ and __________were alike because __________.• Federalists and Republicans were alike because both

supported the Constitution.• A similar stem can be used to call for contrast:• __________ and __________were different because

__________.

Federalists and Republicans were different because Hamilton and his supporters wanted the United States to ally with Great Britain, but Jefferson and his supporters wanted the United States to help France.

Reading• Read One student reads an assigned text passage aloud

as the other two students follow along silently.• Recap The second student summarizes the passage.• Request The third student formulates questions for the

group.• The questions may be for clarification or to spark

discussion.• The teacher directs students to rotate roles as the triads

move through the text selections chosen for this strategy.• Whole-class discussion may be used to compare

summaries and to respond to general questions.

Provide Effective Feedback to Students

• Help students understand where they are in their learning and what to do next.

• Balance descriptive (not labeling) negative and positive comments anchored to goals.

• Give students the feeling that they’ve got control over their own learning.

• Create a classroom environment where students see constructive criticism as a good thing and understand that learning can’t occur without practice.

• Provide oral, written, and/or visual information about progress and accomplishments in a timely fashion.

• Encourages two-way communication where students also provide feedback about their perceptions of progress and strategies.

• Guarantee privacy.
