 Lesson
Compare and Contrast:
1 Definition
Good day class! Our previous topic was able to bring out the best in you, and
that was awesome! I know that you are excited to know more but before going further,
try to ponder on these, what are those things that you need to consider in planning
your write ups? Why is it important to know the likeness and differences on the
things that we encounter daily?
After going through this module, you are expected to:
 define compare and contrast;
 write meaningful paragraphs;
 organize ideas through comparing and contrasting.

What’s In

So as we go through with our new lesson we believe that in our daily activities
we are facing different kinds of decision making in life like: what to wear, where to
go, what strand in Senior High School you choose to. In this topic we will learn how
to compare and contrast things around us and help us to choose wisely. but before
that, let us have an activity which will serve as your springboard to explore our next
topic. Again don’t forget to sanitize.

What’s New

Are you ready for the new lesson? We believe that in our daily activities we are
facing different kinds of decision making in life like: what to wear, where to go, what
strand in Senior High School you choose to. In this topic we will learn how to compare
and contrast things around us and help us to choose wisely.

Compare and contrast Defined

 Compare- taken from the Latin word “comparare” which means to liken or
to compare.

 Comparing things means pointing out their similarities, or what they have
in common.

 Contrast -derived from Latin words “contra” and “stare”which means

against and to stand. In Middle English, contrast was used for meaning
“to fight against or to “withstand” in a battle.

 Contrasting things mean pointing out their differences, or where they

diverge from one another.

For example:

· Apples and oranges are both fruits

· They are both foods
· Both are made into juice
· Both grow on trees

When you contrast items, you look at their

differences.

For example:
· Apples are red. Oranges are orange
· The fruits have different textures
· Oranges need a warmer place to grow, like Florida. Apples can grow in
cooler states like Washington.

What is It

Comparing and contrasting are ways of looking at objects and thinking about
how they are alike and different.

Comparing things means pointing out their similarities, or what they have in
common.

Contrasting things mean pointing out their differences, or where they diverge
from one another.

5
 For instance, all these items are alike because they are kinds of food, but there
are many ways that they are different. For instance, they belong to different food
groups. Some must be cooked before eating, and some can be eaten raw.

When you write compare and contrast, you will pay attention to these kinds
of details.

There are two main reasons that people use comparison and contrast:

1. To Explain

You might compare and contrast kinds of food, for instance, to help someone
understand which food need to have refrigerated and which can be stored in a cabinet
or in a bowl on the counter.

2. To Evaluate

You might compare and contrast kinds of food to show why of kind of food or
brand of food is better than another. For example, apples are better snack than
butter.

When you choose items to compare and contrast, make sure that you choose
items that have similarities. You have to choose things that will make sense for
comparison and contrast. For instance, it wouldn’t make sense to compare a truck
with a crayon or crayons with the birdhouse. Be sure to compare things that belong
together. Compare crayons to pencils or pens, or compare trucks and cars. When
you compare items, you look for their similarities—the things that make them the
same.

What can you compare/contrast?

To compare or contrast, you need two subjects that have a Basis for
Comparison (BFC). A basis for comparison is an essential, common element that
makes it logical to compare the two items.

There are many ways to compare and contrast the features of items, people,
events, etc. Many types of graphic organizers make it easier to examine these
similarities and differences, including Venn diagrams, charts, and others.

 What I Have Learned

Activity 1.2

Congratulations! The previous activities that we had yielded very nice

results, you were able to define and differentiate compare and contrast, you
did a good job in using the graphic organizers and even read the materials
well by giving the correct answers but before going further, I would like you
to ask this question. Do you consider comparing and contrasting an essential
skill to be developed? Do you also consider it very useful in our day-to-day
activities?
Based in your answers, your knowledge of the topic is fantastic; it is
remarkable by the way you responded to the questions posted. Now that
you’ve learned a lot from the varied activities given in our module, let’s
summarize our lesson by filling in the blanks with the appropriate word or
phrase that correctly fits in each of the sentences about compare –and
contrast.

1.__________________________________________ are ways of looking at objects

and thinking about how they are alike and different.
2. _________________________________________ means pointing out their
similarities, or what they have in common.
3.__________________________________________ means pointing out their
differences, or where they diverge from one another.
4.____________________ and _________________ are two main reasons that
people use comparison and contrast.
5.__________________________________________ a graphic organizer that is
made up of two or three overlapping circles used to visualize the relationship
between two or three sets.

What I Can Do

Activity 1.3
Good job! Let us put practice what you have learned. This is now the
gauge of your learning. Write a five-sentence paragraph explaining the
differences and similarities of your favorite subjects in the answer sheet for 5
points.

 Lesson
Differentiate Compare and
2 Contrast
So at this moment the next activities will help you how to differentiate compare
from contrast by reading the given materials and graphic organizers which will be
presented in this lesson then you are expected to:
1. Differentiate Compare and Contrast using the various graphic organizers;
2. Perform all the activities given using the various graphic organizers;
3. Recognize the importance of knowing the difference between things to come
up into wise decision-making.

What’s In

Good job guys! We are on the second part of our module, again don’t forget to
wash your hands or sanitize and use alcohol before and after doing things.

In the previous lesson we talked about the Definition of Compare and

Contrast.

What’s New

How far is your learning about our topic? Have you learned something about
our previous lesson? And we all know that comparing and contrasting are part of
decision making in life. Like for example, in choosing your path or career by next
year.
For us to know about the ideas of Comparison and Contrast we will use Venn
Diagram Organizer to easily understand the concept of both. First we will define the
organizer mentioned above.

Charts
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.

 A comparison and contrast pattern organizes organizes ideas based on how
events, places, people, things, and concepts are similar to or different from one
another.
Comparing things mean pointing out their similarities, or what they have in
common.
Contrasting things mean pointing out their differences, or where they diverge
from one another.

When To Use Comparison-Contrast

Use comparison and contrast to show that:

· One thing is better/worse than another
· Things that seem alike are actually different.
· Things that seem different are actually alike.

Concentrate on the most important parts of a comparison-contrast pattern:

· The purpose of comparison;
· Points of comparison;
· And the actual similarities and differences of the item being compared.

 Lesson Different Graphic Organizer
3 Used to Compare and
Contrast
In this module, the student are expected to:
a.) Evaluate texts using reading comprehension skill,
b.) Extract the differences and similarities from the passages read using the
different graphic organizers in the activities.
c.) Inculcate the value of differences and similarities between things for a deeper
understanding.

What’s In

Learning how to compare and contrast is a very important skill. This is very
useful to our daily life in making firm decisions. It improves comprehension by
highlighting important details, making abstract ideas more concrete, and reducing
the confusion between related concepts. It is necessary for interaction with the
environment that helps an individual organize both new and known information.
Remember to maintain safety even at home, always wash your hands with soap and
water.
So here we go! In the previous lesson that you have taken, knowledge has
already took place. To evaluate your reading comprehension skills you are going to
evaluate a texts, note the similarities and differences between or among objects,
ideas, entities, concepts, events or, or other subjects.

What’s New

Hello everyone! Do you know that there are many ways to compare and
contrast the features of items, people, events, etc.? yes and there are many types of
graphic organizers make it easier to examine these similarities and differences,
including Venn diagrams, charts, and others.below are the different samples of the
graphic organizers.

14
Charts

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. For example, a chart can be used
to create a display of arthropod characteristics. Or a chart can be used to compare
and contrast the major features of plant and animal cells or to chart plant growth.

Semantic Feature Analysis charts

Semantic Feature Analysis charts are used to examine the similarities and
differences of a group of items, people, events etc. This type of chart is often used to
compare and contrast characteristics and for simple logic puzzles.

Insects/ 6 legs 3 body has wings Lays eggs stings

Features Parts
bees + + + + +
ants + + + + -
mosquitoes + + + + -
wasps + + + + +
crickets + + - + -

Try using a Venn diagram or a compare and contrast matrix to better

understand the pattern development. The following signal words will also help you
in identifying such pattern.

Signal words for Comparing

15
 What is It

To sum up what we have discussed:

1. Remember that comparing things means pointing out their

similarities, or what they have in common.

2. There are two main reasons that people use comparison and contrast:
to Explain and To Evaluate

3. There are several ways that we can use to identify the similarities and
differences of 2 or more subjects from both printed and visual
materials.

4. There are several graphic organizers that we can use to compare and
contrast things to be able to identify their similarities and differences.

What is Influenza and What is COVID-19?

The seasonal flu or influenza is caused by contagious influenza viruses that
can infect the throat, nose, and, sometimes, the lungs.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that
influenza can cause mild to severe illness, usually caused by two main types of
influenza virus – type A and type B. The influenza type A routinely spread in people,
which is responsible for seasonal flu epidemics every year. On the other hand,
influenza type B is found only in humans and causes only mild illness.

The first symptoms of COVID-19 and influenza (flu) are similar, wherein
patients experience fever and respiratory symptoms, such as cough and sore throat.
With the flu, the most common symptoms include cough, colds, headaches,
sore throat, fever, chills, fatigue, muscle aches, and sore throat. Vomiting and
diarrhea are usually frequent in children.

In the early stages, COVID-19 has lesser symptoms, which include fever,
tiredness, dry cough, red eyes, and in some cases, loss of taste, and smell.
Some patients may experience nasal congestion, sore throat, and diarrhea.
These symptoms usually worsen gradually. When symptoms progress, the person
may experience shortness of breathe or difficulty breathing. Those who are at higher
risk of severe disease may develop severe illness, characterized by pneumonia, acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and eventually, multi- organ failure and
death.
