(Target 8.6 - Compares living in the city and in the countryside)
Tarea
Think about all you have learned so far about the countryside and the city in parts of Latin America. Using
vocabulary and information contained in the chapter, write a short essay comparing and contrasting life in
the countryside with life in the city. Conclude your essay with a paragraph in which you predict what the city and
the countryside will be like in fifty years. In what ways do you think they will change and why?
Possible themes:
The people of each
What each looks like
Activities
Where people live
The environment
Cost
Jobs
Family
Conveniences
Prewrite
Create a Venn diagram like the one below to help you illustrate the similarities and differences between the city and
the countryside. List the similarities in the area where the two circles intersect. List the differences in the main body
of each circle. Try to maintain a balance of the details that you would like to include in your essay. In other words, for
each detail that you provide for life in the city, you should also provide a detail about the countryside.
Write
• Be sure to include a topic sentence that presents the purpose of your essay to the reader.
• Use the information from your Venn diagram to present similarities in an organized way.
• Use the future tense in your concluding paragraph to predict what you think the city and the countryside will be like
in fifty years.
Writing Strategy
Comparing and contrasting When you write an essay that compares and contrasts, you write about similarities and
differences between two things. To start organizing the main ideas of your essay, ask yourself a few questions. How
does life in the countryside differ from life in the city? What similarities are there? What aspects of city and country
life do I want to focus on and do I have enough information to compare and contrast them?
