See the following examples in 4-8 Blackline Masters: pp. 21, 40, 78, 233, 242, 278 While no direct comparison of different texts is included, students answer similar questions and fill out similar graphs for many of the readings, thus addressing implied comparisons throughout. Additionally, they compare and contrast within a single reading. During metacognition activities students make comparisons and connections between the text just read and other similar texts they have read.
