A compare and/or contrast paragraph is required if you are asked to examine

similarities and/or differences. Compare focuses on similarities. Contrast focuses on
differences.

Comparison in writing discusses elements that are similar, while contrast in

writing discusses elements that are different. A compare-and-contrast essay, then,
analyzes two subjects by comparing them, contrasting them, or both.

Activity 1: FILL THE VENN!

Direction: Fill in the venn diagram with the similarities and differences of schools today
and in the past.

The schools today and in the past are similar in a few ways and different in some
aspects. Both have a learning room, a teacher and books. However, the
classrooms in the past are considered concrete structures where learning should
take place. On the other hand, the classrooms today utilize technology like LCD
projectors, laptops and other gadgets. Another is that lessons in the past were from
print materials while lessons of today are from e-books and other online platforms.
No matter how alike and different the schools in the past and today are, what
matters most is how effective learning takes place.
