The Language of Similarity and Difference
Students take fair categories from a short paired text about two bus routes and move through controlled → guided → free practice with a small comparison-language set, checking each sentence against a clause-structure and punctuation card.
Grammar target
For a fair category with balanced evidence from CP-01, write a comparison sentence using an accurate structure from the CP-02 set (both/also/similarly for similarities; in contrast/however/whereas/while/unlike for differences; comparative -er/more … than where meaningful) with correct clause structure and punctuation.
Essential question
How do I say similarities and differences between two cases without over-claiming what the evidence shows?
Objective
Students can produce grammatically accurate comparison sentences using both … and, also, similarly, in contrast, however, whereas, while, unlike, and comparative -er/more … than, matching the correct clause structure and punctuation to each structure.
