This engaging lesson plan delves into the concept of comparing and contrasting themes, settings, and plots of stories written by the same author. The class begins with an introduction to 'compare' and 'contrast' terms followed by a fun activity called 'Different, yet the same'. Students then read two poems by Ruth Gilmore Ingulsrud, identifying similarities and differences. The session concludes with independent practice where students determine if sentences reflect a similarity or difference.
