Same and Different

AAAhhhh in the wonderful world of English, we like to use crazy vocabulary like compare and contrast, for how are they the same and how are they different? So, you will need to become very familiar with this new vocabulary. Today, you will be able to get some experience using these words.


  1. You will get out paper and write down a series of 10 questions you would like to ask another person about themselves. For instance, "do you have any brothers or sisters? Do you like to watch TV. . ."
  2. You will find a person to interview in the class. Write down their answers, as well as their name.
  3. Go back to your desk and create a venn diagram. How are you similar and how are you different from her classmate?

After that, we will tackle the HUGE pieces of paper outside in the hall. Again with that silly comparing and contrasting. .. .So, here's what you'll do. You will use the other half of the paper to draw a tree. Yes, a tree, you got it. Branches, trunk, roots, everything about a tree will be on that paper. It's almost as if half of you will be a tree and the other half will be a person. Pretty cool right? I think so.
