Unlike Snoopy, Lucky likes to chew socks. Both of them entered a dog show. Snoopy won first place. Lucky came in last because he barked too much. • CFU: How are the dogs the same? How are Snoopy and Lucky different? We already know how to identify when things are alike and different. Today, we will identify text that is written this way.

  4. Concept Development part II • Frogs and Toads • Frogs and toads both have big mouths and sticky tongues. Frogs have long back legs for leaping. Toads have short back legs to hop from one place to another. • CFU: (pair share) What does a text in a compare and contrast pattern tell? • Which statement below is compare and contrast number 1 or number 2? Why? • 1. My brother likes soccer, but I like baseball. We both like to watch TV. • 2. My brother’s name is Mike. He likes to play soccer.
