Compare and Contrasts Contents

Every day in our lives, we compare and contrast persons, objects, characters, ideas, and places. Being able to
interpret and analyze information is very important in organizing thoughts in developing critical thinking and
rendering sound decision.
There are times that we tend to compare and contrast the contents of the materials we view and guess the
meaning right away without giving much thought how we analyze them. There are different kinds of materials
that can be used for comparing and contrasting like charts, signs, flyers, drawings magazines, artworks,
cartoons, photographs, and films.

Understanding these words will help us as we go on with this lesson.

We COMPARE when we look for the similarities between two persons, objects,
characters, ideas, and places.

We CONTRAST when we look for the differences between two persons, objects,
characters, ideas, and places.

There are special expressions we need to consider in comparing and contrasting.

Graphic organizers are useful learning devices to organize and simplify complex information. These help
build understanding by showing relationships between concepts. The most popular graphic organizers in
comparing and contrasting are Venn Diagram and Chart because they are easy to create and modify.

A Venn Diagram is a graphic organizer that is made up of two overlapping


circles. It is used to compare and contrast the characteristics of any other items, like
groups of people, individual people, books, characters, animals, etc.

CHART
A Chart Diagram (also called a matrix diagram or a table) is a type of graphic
organizer that condenses and organizes data about multiple traits associated with
many items or topics. Charts can be used to show attributes of items, to compare
and contrast topics, and to evaluate information.
Let us try to learn how to compare and contrast the information we get from the
materials using Describe-Interpret-Analyze tool.

Describe both materials at the same time. Focusing on just one material will
probably give you half of the point only. Consider the people, objects, activities,
actions, words and phrases.These question prompts will help you in giving details of
the material.

• What is the weather?


• What clothes they wear?
• Describe the environment.
• What do the pictures show?

When you interpret, you explain the meaning of the words, actions, and other
information you get from both materials. These question prompts will help you
interpret.

• What is meant by what is said?


• What can you tell about their reactions?
• What sort of persons do you think the characters are?
• What does the writer want you to feel about both pictures?

When you analyze, you give your opinion, reason, or conclusion you get from both
materials. These question prompts will help you analyze.

• Why do you think the persons said that?


• Why do the girls behave or act that way?
• What are the similarities and differences between… and…?
• What conclusion can you draw from the materials presented?
