1. Compare and Contrast

2. Compare and Contrast
Your aim is to identify similar themes and ideas in two sources and also to identify differences between them
The key to this activity is linkage- discuss the sources TOGETHER throughout a response
You must find BOTH similarities and differences- the best way to do this is to present two paragraphs- one for comparisons and one for contrasts

3. How to Approach: Compare and Contrast
Use two different highlighters or pens- highlight similarities in one colour and contrasts in another
Find the more obvious comparisons and differences- then go on to more specific ones
Similarities are your first paragraph- Differences the second
