Compare and Contrast

We are focusing on comparing and contrasting stories this week in reading. When we compare we look for how things are alike. When we contrast we look for how things are different.  As we read two passages or stories we may ask ourselves:
    * How does the setting of this story compare (similar) to the setting of the other story?
    * How does the theme of this story contrast (different) to the theme of the other story?
