“Good answer!”

Compare
- To tell what is alike or the same
between two things.
- If we compare things, we look for the
things we can see and we cannot see. (Listening)
Examples:
 - We can physically see that they are
both fruit and round.
- The things we cannot see about the (Listening)
two is that they are both good for our
health.

“Did you get it, kids?” “Yes, teacher”

“Another example”

- We physically see that they are both

girls and they have the same skin
color.
- The things we cannot see about the (Listening)
two is that maybe one of them is
happy and the other one is just
pretending happy.

“Did you get my point, kids?” “Yes, teacher”

“We can look for the similarities between

two things such as animals, people, objects,
plants, stories, and more based on what we (Listening)
see as well as things we cannot see”

“We can also look for the similarities of the

texts and stories”

Key words to compare:

 same
 also
 like
 similar
 similarly
 as well as
 both

Examples:
- Both cats and birds can be pets to (Listening)
people.

you tell us what contrast is?” differences of two things”

“Great!”

Contrast
- To tell us what is the difference
between two things, animals, person, (Listening)

things we can see and we cannot see.

“Did you get it? Are you still with me?” “Yes, teacher”

red while an orange has orange color.

“Always remember that if we contrast things,

 on the other hand
 however
 while

“We can use Venn diagram to compare and

contrast things”

“Let as compare and contrast these things” (Listening)

“Using this Venn diagram”

“Venn diagram is a graphic organizer that (Listening)

has two circles overlapped”
“The middle is to tell what is alike, and the
sides is to tell what is difference”

“What do we write in the middle?” “The similarities, teacher”

“So, what is the similarities between the “They are both animals”
two?”

“What else?” “They can be pets”

“Very good! Droid, kindly draw a Venn Droid: (Drawing)

diagram on the board”

“Thank you, Droid”

“In the middle, kindly write their similarities, Zilla: (Writing)

Zilla”

“Very good, Zilla. Now, what should we “The differences between the two, teacher”
write on the sides of our Venn diagram?”

“Good! On the right, we have bird and on the

left we have cat”
 “What are the differences between them?” “The birds can fly while cats cannot”

“What else?” “The birds is bird wild cat mammal”

“Correct! There’s more” “Birds hatches eggs while cats give birds”

“Great! That is how we use Venn diagram to

compare and contrast things”
