Same and Different

  • Oct. 17, 2024, 12:30 p.m.
The Same and Different activity is designed to help students activate prior knowledge and build vocabulary before reading. By presenting two pictures, situations, or problems, students are asked to use precise language to compare and contrast them. This strategy is particularly effective for language learners because it encourages them to engage with new vocabulary in context, helping them to better understand word meanings and usage. As they describe how the items are alike and different, students practice critical thinking by analyzing details, making connections, and articulating their thoughts clearly. Through this process, they refine their language skills and deepen their understanding of the topic. Wrapping up the conversation by reflecting on what they’ve learned about both pictured items and how their thinking has changed encourages students to evaluate their thought processes, further enhancing critical thinking and language development.
