Once you have compared and contrasted
texts, you will then take your ideas and
form a thesis statement.
<Fizzle in>
<Image: http://pixabay.com/en/comparecomparison-scale-balance-643305/>
This thesis statement will allow you to
discuss the similarities and differences
between two texts

and come to a conclusion about them
both.

<Text: VENN DIAGRAM>
Probably the most popular model to use
for comparing and contrasting is a Venn
Diagram.
<Slide two same sized circles together to
mid-screen, so that they interest to form a
space in the center. Use reference image
below>
A Venn diagram is made of two circles
that intersect.
<Add text above left circle. Use reference
image below>
<Text: DIFFERENCES>
The left circle is for differences of one text
and the right is for differences of the other
text.
<Add text above right circle. Use reference
image below>
<Text: DIFFERENCES>
<Add text above middle section. Use
reference image below>
<Text: SIMILARITIES>
Where the circles intersect, or the middle
of the diagram, is where the similarities
are listed.
<Fill spaces of the circles that are used to
list differences in red>
<Fill space in the center used to list
similarities in green>
This model is used a lot because it is easy
to see where the differences and
similarities are.
Question for Clip B
Stem: What is written in the middle section
of a Venn diagram?
Answers for Question B
A. Similarities of the texts.
B. Differences of the first text.
C. Differences of the other text.
D. The author’s opinion.
Correct Response  A

Another model you could use is a list
model.
<Pop in diagram. Use below as reference.
Change title to:
Both Texts>
<Zoom in on left side>
On the left hand side, you list the
similarities the two texts had.
<Zoom in on right side>
On the right, you list the differences they
had.
<Zoom out to full diagram>
<Make text and numbered list in left
column red>
The disadvantage to this model is that the
differences are not listed by text. They are
all lumped in together.
<Under DIFFERENT column, beside
number 1. Add text.>
<Text: Text A says that…>
To avoid getting confused, specifically
mention which text you are referring to in
the differences column.
<Fade In>
This model is good to use if you want to

Question for Clip C
Stem: Where do you find the similarities in
a list model?
Answers for Question C
A. Numbered on the left hand side.
B. Numbered on the right hand side.
C. Numbered in the middle.
D. None of the above.

Another model you could choose to use is
a compare and contrast matrix.
<Zoom in on attribute column>
A compare and contrast matrix has you
look at both texts by attribute.
<Fade In>
An attribute is a quality or characteristic.
<Add text to image: An attribute is a quality
or characteristic.>
<Image:http://www.morguefile.com/archive/
display/680700>
<Zoom in on attribute column>
You list the attributes from the texts on the
far left hand side.
<Zoom in on top where it says Text 1 and
Text 2>
Then you list your first text and your
second text at the top of the next two
columns.
<Add an X in the box directly under text 1>
Then you can mark an “X” under the
appropriate column if that text has that
attribute.
No matter which method of comparing
and contrasting you use, you can clearly
see the similarities and differences, which
will help you form a thesis to discuss the
text.

<Pop in diagram. Use below as reference>
A popular model that is used to compare
and contrast texts is a Venn diagram.
<Make left circle outline blue>
<Make right circle outline red>
<Make both circles black again>
A Venn diagram is made up of two circles
that intersect.
<Zoom to the far left side of circle.>
The far left circle you can use to list the
differences of the first text.
<Zoom to far right of circle.>
The far right circle is where you can list
the differences of the second text.
<Zoom out to full diagram>
<Highlight the middle>
The middle, where the circles intersect,
will be where you write what is similar
between the two texts.
<Highlight the words Different>
<Highlight the word Same>
This diagram is easy to see where the
differences and similarities are located.
Question for Clip F
Stem: Where do you write the differences
of the texts in a Venn diagram?
Answers for Question F
A. The far left circle
B. The far right circle
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B

<Pop in diagram. Use below as reference.

Another model you could use is a list
model.
<Make numbers on both sides bold and
italicize>
This model lists the similarities and
differences of the texts by number.
<Fade In>
This model is great to use if your
<Image:http://www.morguefile.com/archive/ similarities and differences are long
display/906919>
sentences.
<Zoom in on left hand side of diagram>
On the left hand side, the similarities are
numbered.
<Zoom in on right hand side of diagram>
On the right hand side, the differences are
numbered.
<Zoom out to full diagram>
This method can get confusing because
the differences of both texts are placed in
the same column.
<Add text to the right of 1. in diagram>
<Text: In text A, …>
<Add text to the right of 2. in diagram>
<Text: In text B, …>
So you have to make sure you state which
text the differences come from.
Question for Clip G
Stem: When is the list model a good model
to choose?
Answers for Question G
A. If you have a lot of similarities to list.
B. If you have a lot of differences to list.
C. If your similarities and differences are
long sentences.
D. If you have many examples of
differences from both texts.
Correct Response  C

Incorrect – Go to Clip F

Another way you could compare and
contrast different texts is to use a
compare and contrast matrix.
<Zoom in on attribute column>
A compare and contrast matrix is a table
that organizes information from the texts
by their attributes.
<Fade In>
Attributes are qualities or characteristics
<Add text to image: An attribute is a quality of the texts, which is what you’re
or characteristic.>
comparing.
<Image:http://www.morguefile.com/archive/
display/680700>
<Zoom in on far left column>
You will list the attributes in the far left
column. For example, you can list “Uses
Statistics” in the attribute column.
<Change ATTRIBUTE 1 to Uses
Statistics>
<Zoom in on top of matrix, where it says
Text 1 and Text 2>
At the top of the matrix, in the middle and
right columns, you will write the name of
the texts you are comparing.
<Add an X to the first row under Text 2>
Then you will mark an “X” in the box under
the appropriate column if the text has that
quality or attribute.

Once you’ve compared and contrasted
your texts, it’s time to discuss it by
creating a thesis statement about the
similarities and differences.
