Comparative writing


After we used are speaking frames to write about the similarities and differences between different types of bugs, we wrote a comparison between Great White Sharks and Whale Sharks.

We brainstormed all of the features we could identify about these animals. 


Then we used  a Venn Diagram to sort out the different facts we knew about Whale Shark and Great White Sharks. These facts were sorted into those that were true about a Whale Shark, those that were true about a Great White Shark and those that were true about both. 



Summer did a great job sorting these facts into the Venn Diagram. 



Then we used our speaking frames,

They are similar because...
They are different because... 

To help use write a comparison between these two animals.
