The following presentation was designed to be used to guide students through the process but can also be printed out as handouts to students who understand the concepts but could use a prompting, and as full page slides to be used as sentence frames for the reluctant writer. Once completed, the student should then transfer the information over to 1-2 pieces of paper, in consecutive paragraphs to create a four paragraph, level 3 essay. It should go from this: to this: the similarity that launches both of the desires to help people and fight evil. Fighting crime is another one of the obvious similarities. They both have to fight crime because they live in densely populated cities where the citizens depend upon them., but even these similarilites are no match for their differences. Superman and Batman are each their own unique character. True, they both wear a costume, but while Batman’s is entirely black, Superman’s is primarily blue with touches of red (and a big red cape to top it off wiht.). The other interesting thing about their costumes that makes them different is that Superman’s blue and red “costume” is actually how the people of his palnet dressed, so when he is in his “disguise, it is really as Clark Kent the huma, so he can blend and listen for those in need. Another huge difference between them is who they love: Superman is in love with squeaky-clean Lois Lane, but Batman is in love with the bad-girl Catwoman. ETC ETC. ETC. Batman and Superman have some similarities, but more differences. Out of all the superheroes in the world today, their differences are what makes them my favorite.. There are many superheroes in the world today. Of course, there are the popular ones like Superman, Spiderman, and Iron Man, but there are also groups like X-Men, the Avengers, and the Power Rangers. There are also women like Storm and Wonder Woman, and even animals like the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles and Underdog.. I will never forget the time I was eight years old and Batman was on TV at 4pm each day. I envied his cape and would run around the house, holding a towel to my neck, letting my “cape” flow behind me like Batman’s or Superman’s. I loved all superhero shows, but they were my favorite two. They had their similarities, true, but they had more differences that made them each unique and enjoyable to watch. The most obvious similarity is that both Batman and Superman wear colorful costumes. People many not realize just how many similariites they really do share. In example, one common aspect that most people are unaware of is that both me are orphans who were raised in a foster situation. Perhaps that is
