When talking about a compare and contrast essay, I thought about my life. When I was younger I would always compare myself to other people and ask myself why I didn’t have what they had. It almost became an infection, but little did I know it would help me in contrasting and comparing the short stories: “Girl” written by Jamaica Kincaid, and “Two Kinds” written by Amy Tan, tying in women’s rights as the main proprietor. The role of women in “Girl” and “Two Kinds” had similarities in what the mother was supposed to instill in her children, and what happens when women have a voice.

Compare and Contrast helps a lot to reader to make a two different thing clear in their point of view and Susan Cain, the author has done perfectly well with the comparison and contrast. In paragraph 9, Susan Cain has compared Shyness and introversion. “Shyness and introversion are not the same thing. Shy people fear negative judgment; introverts simply prefer quiet, minimally stimulating environment.” And on the next paragraph, the first had contrasts the shyness and introversion. “But shyness and introversion share an undervalued status in a world that prizes extroversion.” This make really clear for the reader that shyness and introversion are totally two different things. The next thing that she has compared to is Sitters and Rovers. The “rover” fish couldn't help but investigate - and were immediately caught. But the “sitter” fish stayed back, making it impossible for Professor Wilson to capture them. “In contrast, sitter children are careful and astute and tend to learn by observing instead of acting.” This compare and contrast made it clear for the reader and it make a clear difference in sitters and

An activity that I would have the students do is the sorting of the vocabulary words with similar meanings. I would demonstrate this activity by using the word 'road'. I would have my students pick out the vocabulary word from the story that had a similar meaning as the word 'road', which would be 'lane'. Once they were able to identify the vocabulary word from the story, I would ask them if they could tell me another word that may have a similar meaning from our lists of words. For example, the students would find the word 'street'. Once I had gone over

I’m going to be comparing and contrasting “ The Monsters” and “ Andy Griffith Show.” Then I will tell about which I thought was the best and made more sence. For example I thought “ Andy Griffith Show” made more sence to me than “ The Monsters.” Another example could be “ The Monsters” takes place in on a street and “ Andy Griffith Show” takes place in a town. Now I’m going to explain more ways to compare and contrast them.

The curriculum for reading with a group of second grade students is, teaching the students how to interact with the text by asking questions and answering those questions. Having the students learn how to ask “who, what, when, where, why, and how” is the first step for new readers to understand what they are reading. The students are learning how to pick out the key ideas and details within the story to help fully understand the concept and meaning behind the writers words. Students need to be able to describe what they are reading and pay attention to the story’s plot. Second grade students now have the ability to understand the reason behind the characters actions within the stories that they read. This short story in particular serves the purpose of learning how to pick out the key ideas and details for new readers.

One topic of conversation that arose was about the animals, insects, reptiles and amphibians that inhabit the rainforest. My students at the time were very drawn to frogs so during a reading lesson about character traits I chose the book Frog and Toad Together by Arnold Lobel. In this short chapter book Frog and Toad are best friends who enjoy different adventures together. It is a wonderful example of friendship and loyalty. For this particular lesson students were analyzing their character traits. As I was observing and participating in discussions around the classroom, I realized that many of the students were wondering about the difference between a frog and toad and wondering if the characters in the book reflected these differences. These insights made me realize that we should shift the focus and research these differences. I contacted the librarian and he suggested I read them All About Frogs by Jim Arnosky. Thus I choose this book as my expository example. This book provided a wealth of information and vivid illustrations about different types of frogs and toads. The students were extremely engaged in learning more about frogs and using this information to draw conclusions about the fictional characters in Frog and Toad Together by Arnold Lobel. My students took the initiative to learn and explore with very little push from me. It was one of my most memorable lessons, that literally

Literary Analysis Lesson 1 Introduction: This unit is designed for a twelfth-grade honors British literature class. These students are extremely gifted and will be taking the AP exam for college credit towards the end of the school year. The students will be learning about the dynamic and static characters in the book. They will be identifying how the dynamic character changes throughout the story and how the static characters stay the same. This is important because these students are undergoing major changes in their lives at this point; they will be attending college next year and taking a big leap into the somewhat unknown. I want the students to be able to see the difference between change and what is stagnant. The students will also be able to chart the progression, or lack thereof in the main characters. The students have prior knowledge of this short story and have had lessons that go over dynamic and static character traits. I do have two ESL students in my classroom that I will be tinkering parts of the activities to
