4 Strategies for Similarities and Differences
Comparing
The process of identifying and
articulating similarities and differences
among items.
Classifying
The process of grouping things into
definable categories on the basis of their
attributes.
Creating
Metaphors
The process of identifying and
articulating the underlying theme or
general pattern in information.
Creating
Analogies
The process of identifying relationships
between pairs of concepts (e.g.,
relationships between relationships).

What are the steps in the comparison process?
COMPARING
To
1. Select the items you want to
compare.
2. Select the characteristics of the
items on which you want to base
your comparison.
3. Explain how the items are similar
and different with respect to the
characteristics you selected.

Tips Related to the Comparison Process
TIP
TIP
One key to a rigorous comparison is to identify items and characteristics
that are meaningful and interesting. To do this, students need
extensive modeling and feedback. If the items and characteristics are
not meaningful, students will not make new distinctions or come to new
conclusions about the targeted knowledge.
Make sure that students understand that the purpose of doing the
comparison is to extend and refine their understanding of the
knowledge they are learning. Asking students to select different
characteristics will help them move beyond the obvious.

What are the steps in the classifying process?
CLASSIFYING
Birds
Fish
Dogs
1. Identify the items you want to classify.
2. Select what seems to be an important item,
describe its key attributes, and identify other
items that have the same attributes.
3. Create a category by specifying the
attribute(s) that the items must have for
membership in this category.
4. Select another item, describe its key
attributes, and identify other items that have
the same attributes.
Effective Classroom Strategies

CLASSIFYING
(cont’d)
Birds
Fish
5. Create the second category by specifying
the attribute(s) that the items must have
for membership in the category.
Dogs
6. Repeat the previous two steps until all
items are classified and the specific
attributes have been identified for
membership in each category.
7. If necessary, combine categories or split
them into smaller categories and specify
attribute(s) that determine membership in
the category.
Effective Classroom Strategies

Content Area: Science
Knowledge:
Understands that different animals
live in different environments.
We have been learning that different animals live in different
environments. Classify the following animals in terms of whether
they live in lakes or oceans, forests, in the soil, or in the
desert.
raccoons
moles
clams
scorpions
squirrels
frogs
bears
lizards
deer
fish
ants
turtles
worms
ducks
snakes
Now, reclassify these animals using another set of attributes. For
example, you might identify attributes that relate to the
animal’s
skin or outer covering (e.g., has fur, scales, has a shell).
You may use a blank classifying graphic or your own chart to do
this task.

Classification – a strategy for GLCE



ELA- Genre characteristics, poetry,

Science – habitat, endangered,

34
Creating Metaphors
Identify a general or basic
pattern in a specific topic
and then find another topic
that seems quite different at
the literal level but has the
same general pattern.

Steps for Creating Metaphors

of the information of situation with
which you are working.
2.
Write that basic information as a general
pattern by:

•
3.
Replacing words for specific things with words for
more general things, and
Summarizing information whenever possible
Find new information or a situation to

The purpose of analogies in the
classroom

Help make connections between things
that are very different




Pattern is A:B::C:D
A is to B as C is to D
happy:sad::big:small
happy and big are opposites of sad and small
Analogy problems are common in testing
situations – PSAT, SAT, ACT.
Effective Classroom Strategies
41
Using Analogies in the Classroom

Help explain an unfamiliar concept
by making a comparison to
something that we understand.
Question… What is this analogy?


One:trillion::one square inch: the
area of the city of Chicago
Pushes students to think about how
items and concepts are related:
how do two things interact, and
how is the relationship similar to
the relationship between the second
pair.

What strategies do you teach students to help them become

The word photography comes from the Greek word
meaning “drawing with light”….Light is the most
essential ingredient in photography. Nearly all
forms of photography are based on the fact that
certain chemicals are photosensitive- that is, they
change in some way when exposed to light.
Photosensitive materials abound in nature; plants
that close their blooms at night are one example.
The films used in photography depend on a limited
number of chemical compounds that darken when
exposed to light. The compounds most widely used
today are called halogens (usually bromine,
chlorine, or iodine.

Research generalizations on
summarizing
• Students must delete some information,
substitute some information, and keep some
information.
• To effectively delete, substitute, and keep
information, students must analyze the
information at a fairly deep level.
• Being aware of the explicit structure of
information is an aid to summarizing
information. Summary Frames

A summary is …
1)
A summary:

Is an essential condensation in your own words.

Answers the question “what is the author really saying?”

Is the result of careful “listening” to the author.

Remains faithful to the author’s emphasis and
interpretation.

Does not disagree with or critique the author’s opinion.
2)
A summary is a comprehensive but brief statement of what has
been stated previously in a longer form.
3)
A summary is a wrap-up----a general picture of the
information--- much like TV networks produce at the end of a
year.
4)
Summaries provide a quick overview of a subject without
having the reader wade through a lot of facts and details.
Summaries help readers and writers boil information down to
its most basic elements.
5)
Encyclopedias, almanacs, and digests provide good examples of
summaries.
Effective Classroom Strategies
52
Procedural Knowledge
Summarizing is “procedural
knowledge.” If students are
expected to become
proficient in procedural
knowledge, they need to be
able to “practice.”
Mastering a skill or process requires a
fair amount of focused practice.
Practice sessions initially should be
spaced very closely together. Over
time, the intervals between sessions
can be increased. Students also need
feedback on their efforts.
While practicing, students should adapt and
shape what they have learned.
Effective Classroom Strategies
53
A Rubric for Summarizing
4
The student identifies the main pattern running
through the information along with minor patterns.
3
The student identifies the main pattern running
through the information.
2
The student addresses some of the features of the
main pattern running through the information but
excludes some critical aspects.
1
The student does not address the main pattern running
through the information.
0
Not enough information to make a judgment.

learning?
What specific information will
students need to summarize?

 Rule-based Summarizing Strategy
 Summary Frames
 Narrative or Story
 TRI
 Definition
 Argumentation
 Problem/Solution

them the strategy? When and how?
How much guidance will I provide them?
How will I monitor how well students are
doing?
