How do we use compare and contrast?
Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new ideas in text.
It helps us think critically. Think about similarities, likenesses, and
differences.

Example Passage
The grocery store held a contest. Whoever could guess the correct number of jelly beans in the big jar would win a prize. There were exactly 372 jelly beans. Two people guessed the right answer – Joey and Harry. Since there were two winners, both of them were given a $20 gift card. Joey decided to spend his prize money on his favorite foods. He brought vanilla ice cream, animal cookies, angel food cake, and a chocolate candy bar. Harry had a different idea. He wanted to make breakfast for his family. Harry used his money to buy bacon, eggs, cereal, and waffles.

Inferring and Supporting with Evidence
![Page 14: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is inferring?
Inference questions ask you to figure something out in the passage. The text will give you clues that you may have to think about.
The answer probably will not be in the text.
You may have to predict what will happen, draw a conclusion, or come up with an effect.
![Page 15: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What can we learn from inferring?
Inferring forces us to think more deeply about the text.
When we make inferences, we are interacting with the text using our own schemas and information the author has given us.
![Page 16: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example Passage
Mary was very proud of her garden. She'd planted the seeds early in the spring and tended to the plants every day since then. She pulled the weeds so they'd have lots of space. She knew that the plants needed plenty of water, so she watered them every day too.
Last Saturday her friend Pam called early in the morning and invited Mary to spend the day at the mall. They left early and spent the day there, even taking in a movie. Pam then invited Mary to sleep over Saturday night too, and she happily accepted. When Mary arrived home on Sunday afternoon, her beautiful plants were bent and drooping.

Using Main Idea and Supporting Details
![Page 19: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How do we use main idea?
We need to be able to pick out the main idea so that we can summarize passages or stories.
The main idea is NOT the topic or the theme.
It is the most important idea about the topic usually expressed in a sentence. Hint: the topic or theme is usually only a
word or phrase, not a sentence.
![Page 20: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How do we identify the main idea and add supporting details?
Try starting with the topic of the passage and add at least one detail to support it.
You can find supporting details right in the passage, but you may have to infer the main idea. Remember: you infer using your own
schema and information the author gives you
![Page 21: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example Passage
No one knows how language began, but one interesting idea is the “bow wow” theory. It says that people first spoke by imitating the sounds they heard. A tribe would all use the same barking sound to talk about a dog.
These are called “echoic” words, or onomatopoeia, because they echo the sound they describe. English has more echoic words than any other language. We know that not all dogs have the same bark. St. Bernards and poodles sound very different. Similar to dogs, other languages use different words.

What are some example main idea questions?
In a few words, what is this selection about?
What would you say is the most important idea about this topic?
What is the main idea of this passage? What is your evidence?
![Page 23: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Summarizing Text
![Page 24: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What is summarizing?
It’s taking larger selections of text and reducing them to their bare essentials. The gist The key ideas The main points that are worth noting and
remembering Capture the most important parts of the
text, but expresses them in shorter, more easily remembered version
![Page 25: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How do we summarize?
Summarizing helps us reduce a lot of information down to the main ideas.
Try using MIDAS M – Main idea I – Identify supporting details D – Disregard unimportant information A – Analyze redundant information S – Simplify, categorize, and label
important information
![Page 26: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example Passage
It is estimated that over twenty million pounds of candy corn are sold in the US each year. Brach’s, the top manufacturer, sells enough candy corn to circle the earth 4.25 times if each piece were laid end to end. That’s a lot of candy corn, but that’s nothing compared to Tootsie Roll production. Over 64 million Tootsie Rolls are produced every day! But even Tootsie Rolls have got nothing on the candy industry’s staple product, chocolate. Confectioners manufacture over twenty billion pounds of chocolate in the United States each year. Now that’s a mouthful!

What are some example summarizing questions?
What is this selection about? What are the main ideas of this
selection? What evidence do you have to support
the main idea? What is not important to remember in
the selection?

What is QAR?
Question-Answer Relationship QAR helps us understand different kinds of
questions. Right There – find the answers right there in
the text Think and Search – gather info from different
parts of the text and put it all together Author and You – use info from the text and
from your own schema On my Own – use your own schema – you
don’t have to read the text

How do we use QAR?
QAR can help us find the answers to questions faster and more accurately
It helps you make connections to the text and beyond
All questions are either going to come from the text (Right There or Think and Search) or from your head (Author and You and On My Own)
![Page 31: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Example Passage
The first battle of the American Revolution occurred at Lexington, Massachusetts in 1775. The American colonists were angry about numerous taxes issued by the British king. In 1776, the colonists issued the Declaration of Independence, a document written by Thomas Jefferson that outlined America’s intention to become a new country separate from England. England wanted to maintain control of America, and vowed to fight the colonists. The Americans won many important battles. Many American heroes emerged during this time. Finally, in 1783, the British surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia and a new nation was born.

Cause and Effect
![Page 34: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How do we use cause and effect?
CauseA cause is why
something happens.
EffectAn effect is what
happens.
A cause may have more than one effect. An effect may have
more than one cause. An effect may become
a cause of something else.
Cause and effect makes us think about the relationships between events.
Signal words: because, so, as a result, or since
![Page 35: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What are some example cause and effect questions?
What happened as a result of this event? Why would this have happened? What was the cause of this event? What do you think the effect of this

![Page 36: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The United States and its allies hated
the Soviet Union and its supporters.
Each threatened to destroy the other.
They thought democracy didn’t help poor working people enough.
For this reason, they supported
communism.
Cuba had been a colony of Spain and
later came under the “protection” of the
United States.
Even though Cuba was officially
independent, the U.S. had a lot of
influence over its government and
economy.
Eventually, Fidel Castro seized control
of the Cuban government and
adopted communism.
This made U.S. citizens very
worried. In October 1962, the United
States sent spies to Cuba.
They discovered that the Soviet Union was
building a nuclear missile site in Cuba.
Eventually, President Kennedy decided to ask the
Soviet Union to remove its missiles and stop sending
any more to Cuba.
![Page 37: CAFE STRATEGIES. Compare and Contrast How do we use compare and contrast? Thinking about how things are alike or different can help us understand new](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081417/56649e2c5503460f94b1a92c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Eventually, President Kennedy decided to ask the Soviet Union
to remove its missiles and stop
sending any more to Cuba.
Luckily, the missiles were
pulled out of Cuba and the crisis ended without
bloodshed.
If he allowed the Soviet Union to keep shipping missiles to
Cuba
They could attack the United States
at any time.
He could have sent the U.S. Army into
Cuba to remove the missiles.
But, that might have made Castro angry and set off a missile right away.
He warned that if any missiles were fired at the United States from Cuba
He would hold the Soviet Union responsible.
Cuba is still communist, and the U.S. refuses to trade
with Cuba.
Today, Cuba and the United States
are still on bad terms.
