5. COMPARE and CONTRAST

6. COMPARE and CONTRAST
-similar information presented in
different texts.

7. COMPARE
to identify the similarities
between two (2) things.

8. CONTRAST
to identify only the differences.

10. COMPARE: The apple and orange are both fruits
CONTRAST: However, an apple has thin skin that we can eat
while an orange has thick skin that we cannot eat.
COMPARE AND CONTRAST

11. Identify which sentence

14. Steps in Identifying
Similarities and Differences

15. Analyze your Prompts
Break down in simple terms what is being
asked to compare and contrast
- biting information into smaller pieces
before chewing it.
- identify which part of the text will you
analyze.
(comparing of characters, themes or views
of the author)

16. Determine your method
Decide what type of graphic organizer will
you use to appropriately analyze the data.
- write in bullets, use organizers ( tables,
charts, webs, and diagrams)
- most common method: is VENN DIAGRAM
( popularized by John Venn in the 1880s )

17. VENN DIAGRAM

18. look for data, details, or facts related to
the point of comparison.
- can be about scientific or simple
facts like appearance and smell.
- rule out information that may not be
relevant.
Find Details

19. A. ALTERNATING METHOD
- organizing findings by individual points, in
which you discuss your findings in relation to
each point.
- write the aspect of the first thing then
immediately write the same aspect of the
second thing and how they are similar or
different.
Present your Findings

Spanish Flu: _____________________
Covid 19: _______________________
Point 2
Spanish Flu: _____________________
Covid 19: _______________________
Alternating Method

21. Point 1 = Causes of Flu and Covid 19
Point 2 = Symptoms
Alternating Method

22. B. Block Method
- organize subjects themselves, one then
the other.
- write all the aspects of the first thing, then
write separately the aspect of the second
thing.
Present your Findings

differences presented in

ACTIVITY 1

26. Families in China and United States are alike in some ways
and different in others. Many American households
include just parents and their children. But Chinese
households often include many other family
members. Most Chinese families have only one child.
However, American families often have two or three
children. Both cultures teach respect for older people, but
Chinese culture is strict about it. Families in China and the
United States are similar because family members help
each other.

Write the similarities and
differences presented in
the text using the Block
Method.

29. ACTIVITY 2
Both viruses share similar symptoms, including cough, runny nose, sore
throat, fever, headache, and fatigue. People may have varying levels
of illness with both COVID-19 and influenza. Some may have no
symptoms, mild symptoms, or severe disease. Both influenza and
COVID-19 can be fatal. These diseases are spread by droplets and
aerosols when an infected person coughs, sneezes speaks, sings or
breathes. The droplets and aerosols can land in the eyes, nose or mouth
of people who are nearby -- typically within 1 meter of the infected
person, but sometimes even further away. People can also get infected
with both COVID-19 and influenza by touching contaminated surfaces,
then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth without cleaning their hands.
People with mild symptoms of both diseases can usually be treated
safely at home.

30. ACTIVITY 2
The treatment options in use for COVID-19 at medical
facilities include oxygen, corticosteroids, and IL6 receptor
blockers for severely ill patients. Treatment for people with
severe respiratory illness includes advanced respiratory
support such as the use of ventilators. Several other
treatment options for COVID-19 are currently in clinical trials.
Antiviral drugs for influenza can reduce severe
complications and death, and they are especially
important for high-risk groups. It’s important to remember
that antibiotics are not effective against influenza or COVID-
19 viruses.
