Comparing and Contrasting Stories

Today we compared and contrasted the two stories we have been reading this week. Before the students read with their partners, we talked about the story Henry and Mudge and what it was about. Then I introduced the other story All in the Family to them. They took their, "parking lot post-it" boards with them to their place to read and jotted down how this story was alike and different from Henry and Mudge. After the reading, we came back as a whole group and posted our comparisons and differences on an anchor chart. Here are some pictures of the class reading with their partners.
