Comparing And Contrasting

Worksheet Description

The “Sentence Frames” worksheet is a tool designed to assist students in organizing their thoughts and writing about various topics systematically. It provides a series of sentence starters that prompt students to describe characteristics, compare and contrast elements, and express curiosity or interest in a subject. The worksheet is structured to guide students through the process of critical thinking by having them fill in the blanks to complete sentences that begin with phrases like “Some characteristics of,” “Some similarities between,” and “I want to know how/why.”

This worksheet is crafted to teach students the skills of analysis, comparison, and reflective questioning. By completing the sentence frames, students practice identifying key features of a topic, making comparisons, noting contrasts, and articulating questions that demonstrate a deeper desire to understand a subject. The activity encourages students to engage with material critically and to communicate their findings and curiosities clearly. Furthermore, it helps students learn to structure their writing in a logical and informative way, which is essential for academic success.
