Distinguishing Text-Types on Comparison and Contrast

PRE–TEST

Directions: Read the passages below and tell whether they are
comparing or contrasting. Write your answer on the space provided

RECAP

We learned about identifying text-types according to features of Cause

and Effect, which is the relationship between events or things, where one is
the result of the other. Cause and effect relationship is a combination of
action and reaction. It is used to examine the reasons and the outcomes of a
certain situation.

 LESSON

Today we are going to distinguish comparison and contrast.

Comparison or compare refers to the process of identifying the

similarities and differences between two things. Contrast on the other hand
refers only on identifying the differences between two things. Comparison
and Contrast is a style that discusses the similarities and differences of two
things, ideas, concepts, items, places, person, animals, and many other
things.

Comparing and Contrasting serves as a good introduction to Higher-

Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of every pupil. We can see comparison and
contrast in many ways, such as doing our essays, stories and especially in
decision making.

Using Venn Diagram is the easiest way in sorting Compare and

Contrast. In Venn Diagram, similarities of the things were being written in
the inner circle while the differences are drawn in the outer circle, just like
in the picture.
