Compare and Contrast HANDOUT:
Compare and Contrast
When we are presented with two passages, they may be similar or different. It is important to recognize these similarities and differences.
Comparing Information
When we compare two types of information, we are looking for similarities between them. In other words, we want to see how the two are alike.
For example, Batman and Spider-Man are similar in the respect that they are both comic book superheroes.
Contrasting Information
When we contrast two types of information, we are looking for differences between them. Contrasting means showing how two things are different.
For example, Batman wears a bat costume, drives the Batmobile, and has an arch-nemesis named The Joker. Spider-Man wears a spider costume, swings from buildings with spider webbing, and has an arch-nemesis named The Green Goblin.
