Comparative Writing

We have begun a writing unit in Comparative Writing. When we comparative write we discuss how two things are the same and how they are different. Today we brainstormed a list of comparative language to use when writing these paragraphs. We also came up with some ideas of things that could be compared (examples are: cars, friends, book characters, foods, animals and seasons... just to name a few). For home practice students could write a comparative paragraph if they wish comparing themselves to a sibling, comparing mom to dad or maybe they have two pets to compare... the ideas are endless!
