ACTIVITY (10
minutes)
Experiential Learning
(Individual Reading Activity)
Elementary School and Middle School:
What is it like to transition from elementary to middle school? That is a question many
kids ask each year. Having experienced both, I can tell you that there are plenty of
similarities as well as some very big differences between the two types of schools.
Elementary schools and middle schools have many traits in common. Typically, both
are open five days a week for a set number of hours each day. Students sit at desks
in classrooms and are expected to listen to and learn from their teachers. There is a
set time for lunch. Each day, students are given homework assignments. Students
take quizzes and tests. In all these ways, middle school should feel somewhat
familiar to new students.
Making the move from elementary school to middle school may seem scary, but
knowing what to expect can really help. Elementary school provides kids with the
experiences they need to be ready for middle school. Even though moving on means
adjusting to a new environment, some things, including many of the classmates who
accompany you, will remain the same.
However, there are some big changes that new middle school students should be
aware of. In elementary school, students usually stay in the same classroom with one
teacher for most of the day. That is not the case in middle school, where students
typically have a different teacher for each subject. Students must move to a different
classroom for each subject too. Since there is not one classroom in which to store
supplies, middle schools often provide students with lockers. For many kids, getting a
locker is a welcome rite of passage.
C.
ANALYSIS (10
minutes)
The student will answer the following question:
1. What did you understand in the written text?
2. In your own understanding what is comparison and contrast?
 Comparison involves noting similarities between two or more things, while
contrast focuses on highlighting differences. It's a way of examining the
characteristics of items to understand how they are alike and how they differ.
3. Why is comparison and contrast important when analyzing a written
text?
 Comparison and contrast help readers grasp the nuances and distinctions
within a text. By identifying similarities and differences, readers can better
understand the author's intentions, the relationships between elements, and
gain a deeper insight into the overall message of the text.
4. How can you identify when a written text is a comparison and contrast?
 Look for signal words like "similarly," "on the other hand," "in contrast," or
"but." Additionally, pay attention to the structure of the text. If the author is
discussing similarities and differences between two or more subjects, it's
likely a comparison and contrast text. Visual aids such as Venn diagrams may
also be present.
Mastery Approach:
Class-Group Activity.
Direction: Compare and contrast the written text entitled “Elementary School and
Middle School”, using a venn diagram.
The teacher will correct some misconceptions in the comparison and contrast.
Socratic Method:
The teacher will call a representative to give the synthesis of the discussion / lesson.
The teacher will ask questions to learners to wrap up the activities.
1. What is the significance of knowing how to distinguish the comparison and
contrast in each text?
2. How do comparison and contrast help you in getting data from a given text?
Possible Answers:
1. Knowing how to identify and deternine comparison and contrast in a given text
helps me understand a context thoroughly. It also helps me to navigate and see
things in a different perspective.
D.
APPLICATION
(15 minutes)
Self-paced Learning & Class-Group Discussion
QUESTIONS:
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED SO FAR?
1. How do comparison
contrast differ?
and
2. How
can
you
apply
comparison and contrast in a
real-life situations?
Specific and possible answers of
the learners;

Comparison involves
highlighting similarities
between two or more things,
while contrast focuses on
pointing out differences. In
essence, comparison
emphasizes commonalities,
whereas contrast
emphasizes distinctions.

Apply
comparison
and
contrast in daily decisions,
understanding
diverse
perspectives,
fostering
balanced relationships, and
extracting lessons from
experiences.
FOLLOW -UP QUESTIONS
Uni-structural:
1. Question: "Why is it useful to find similarities and differences in a story
or text you're learning about?"
Answer: Identifying similarities and differences helps deepen understanding
and grasp key elements in the story.
2. (Uni-structural):
Question: "What's the importance of balancing comparisons when learning
from a full story?"
Answer: Balancing comparisons ensures a fair evaluation of different elements,
providing a comprehensive understanding of the entire story.
Multi-structural:
3. Question: How does the skill of comparing and contrasting enhance your
ability to identify important elements within a story?
Answer: Comparing and contrasting helps highlight significant details,
allowing for a more nuanced and thorough understanding of the story.
Relational: 3. Why is it valuable to recognize both similarities and differences when
analyzing characters, events, or themes in a story?
Answer: Recognizing both similarities and differences provides a comprehensive
view, revealing nuances and contributing to a more holistic analysis of the story.
(Relational): Just as in real-life problem-solving, a well-structured comparison
brings order to information, helping you see connections and draw meaningful
insights, like organizing thoughts for effective decision-making.
Extended Abstract:
4. "In what ways does a well-structured comparison contribute to a deeper
understanding of the storyline?"
