Comparing and Contrasting
The
 Comparing
and Contrasting tips help students use mental processes
that sort relevant and important relationships and qualitative and
quantitative data.
Summary:
Students can get bogged down with details and need
help sorting out criteria for making informed observations. These
Tip Sheets help students visualize their thinking and learning as
they progress through the comparing and contrasting process. The
steps for comparing and contrasting are outlined in basic steps
and questions. The Tip Sheets then map students’ thinking patterns
to help them "see" their thinking and work through the
steps of putting their thoughts together and comparing and contrasting
based on specific criteria. Whether students will be using a checklist
or a matrix, the graphic organizers help students record and organize
thoughts as they make comparisons and contrasts by using mental
processes that sort relevant and important relationships and qualitative
and quantitative data based on their experiences with the content.
