Study Notes
Comparing and Contrasting
- Comparing involves identifying similarities between two or more things.
- Contrasting involves identifying differences between two or more things.
- The process is more effective when the items being compared are related.
- Comparing an apple and an orange highlights similarities like both being fruit, growing on trees, being round, and edible.
Comparing
- Focuses on identifying common characteristics.
- Examples for comparing apples and oranges include: both fruits, grown on trees, both are round, both are edible.
Contrasting
- Focuses on identifying differences between items.
- Contrast oranges and apples by identifying differences in skin thickness.
- Oranges have thick skin and apples have thin skin.
- To contrast effectively, avoid using negation ("don't").
- Instead of saying "a human doesn't live in a pond," state "humans live in houses and frogs live in ponds."
Venn Diagrams
- Visual tool for comparing and contrasting.
- Two overlapping circles represent the items being compared.
- The overlapping area (intersection) lists common features (similarities).
- Non-overlapping areas list unique features (differences).
