  1. Compare and Contrast Launch Activities Haines City High School Creator: Charles Wynne

  2. Discussion • How many differences could you find? • Share the things you found different between the first and second picture.

  3. Compare and Contrast Acquisition Haines City High School Creator: Charles Wynne

  4. Why use compare and contrast? There are two main reasons that people use comparison and contrast: 1. To Explain--You might compare and contrast kinds of food, for instance, to help someone understand which food need to be refrigerated and which can be stored in a cabinet or in a bowl on the counter. 2. To Evaluate--You might compare and contrast kinds of food to show why one kind of food or brand of food is better than another. For example, apples are a better snack than butter.

  5. Comparisons can be easy CATS DOGS Tail Four legged Furry Claws

  6. Comparisons can be difficult too Dark tones A lot of black and brown Sparing use of light A lot of use of shadowing Faces are illuminated

  7. Contrasting can be easy Oranges Apples Rough texture Only one color available Thick skin Tart flavor Grown in South Smooth texture Come in red and green Thin skin Grown in North and South

  8. Contrasting can be difficult too 1999 Chevy Cavalier 1999 Pontiac Sunfire Hubcaps have counter-clockwise rotation design Body is much more rounded Headlights are more slanted Hubcaps have clock-wise rotation design Body is more sleek and slanted Headlights are more square

  18. Math – underline signal words Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of "averages“ that reveal patterns. There are many "averages" in statistics, but these are, I think, the three most common, and are certainly the three you are most likely to encounter in your pre-statistics courses, if the topic comes up at all. The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. Whereas, the "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order, so you may have to rewrite your list first. Different from both the mean and the median, the "mode" is the value that occurs most often. If no number is repeated, then there is no mode for the list. Most of the time, you want to use the “mean” because it gives you the number that is probably most common; however, that is not always true. For instance, if you are researching the “average” price of a car, you might find that “$45,000” is the average price of a car but that number is definitely not what the “average” consumer would buy. If you used the “mode;” however, you would probably find a number more like this: $25,000.

  21. Similarities – possible responses • THEY ALL… • Average • Reveal Patterns • Are commonly used

  22. Differences – possible responses • Mean • add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers • Median • is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. • To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order • Mode • is the value that occurs most often • If no number is repeated, then there is no mode for the list.

  23. Science –underline the signal words Like Earth, planet Mars has polar ice caps and clouds in its atmosphere, seasonal weather patterns, volcanoes, canyons and other recognizable features. However, conditions on Mars are very different from those on our home planet. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Its orbit lies between Earth’s orbit and the asteroid belt. On Mars, the land and sky have a red or pink hue. Earth, on the other hand, has a blue hue probably due to the fact that Earth is much cooler than Mars.

  26. Social Studies/Language Many people believe that all Hispanic cultures are similar but this is not necessarily true. Most definitely, most Hispanic groups primarily speak “Spanish,” but you would be hard to find two different cultures that speak the exact same “Spanish.” A lápiz is a pencil or crayon everywhere, but a lapicero is a pencil holder in some areas, a mechanical pencil in others, and a ball-point pen in still others. There are also fair number of blatant differences, such as a computer being an ordenador in Spain but a computadora in Latin America, but they are probably no more common than the British-American differences. Of course, every area also has its quirky words. For example, a Chinese restaurant in Chile or Peru is called a chifa, but you won't run across that word in many other places.

  27. Create • Create your own diagram that communicates the similarities and differences in vocabulary between Spain and Latin America, based on the article. Be ready to discuss your diagram and share with the class!

  28. Complete the chart with information from the text • Latin America Spain Lápiz Pencil or Crayon Ordenador Computer computadora Computer

  29. English • Read both quotes below and be ready to compare and contrast them in topic, message, style, word choice, and organization. “Whatever you fear most has no power – it is your fear that has the power” - Oprah Winfrey “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear” - Mark Twain

  30. Compare and Contrast • Use the diagram on the next slide to compare and contrast the two quotes on the previous slide. Use the categories below: • Subject/Topic • Attitude • Message • Word Choice

  31. Use this chart!

  32. Possible Responses (will vary)

  33. Writing Opportunity! • Write one paragraph summary that explains what you thought was similar between the two quotes and what you thought was different. Remember: explain using details from the quotes!

  35. Project • Choose three restaurants with which you are familiar. Your job will be to create a brochure that accurately compares and contrasts the three restaurants in at least five different categories of your choice. • Step 1 – complete the graphic organizer by researching or visiting your restaurants and taking notes on each of the categories. • Step 2 – create your brochure that outlines the similarities and differences (separate side for each?) • Step 3 – present it to the class and tell us which restaurant is best and why.
