Compare and Contrast
In your google search bar type “compare and contrast study zone”. The first site
that appears is the site to click! Read through the information and then click on
the car to try out your skills. Write your responses on notebook paper, then check
your answers and see how you did. Finally, apply your sharp compare and contrast
skills to a treat! Choose two pieces of candy from the container. Compare and
contrast them extensively...the person who is able to come up with the most ways
they are similar and different earns another two pieces! Good luck!
