Certain events can lead to other ones, and we can see

this happen in the things we read. This can be referred
to as cause and effect or a sequence.
A lot of texts, even if theyre about the same subject,
can vary differently and still have a lot of similarities.
All sorts of information, including both pictures and
words, can be used to understand a text better.
Why is it important to understand the similarities and
differences between two different texts, other ways
they are connected, and understand how a variety of
information can help lead to a greater understanding of
a text?
E03.B-C.3.1.1: Describe the logical connection
between particular sentences and paragraphs to
support specific points in a text (e.g., comparison,
cause/effect, first/second/third in a sequence).
E03.B-C.3.1.2: Compare and contrast the most
important points and key details presented in two texts
on the same topic.
E03.B-C.3.1.3: Use information gained from
illustrations, maps, photographs, and the words in a
text to demonstrate understanding of the text (e.g.,
where, when, why, and how key events occur).
Recognize how the information in a text relates to the
standards being taught(such as understanding how two
events in a story are cause and effect)
Categorize similarities and differences in two different
but similar texts
Will draw conclusions about what should happen in
which order when presented with different steps of a
sequence
Can apply concepts to other texts

In a test, the students will read two short essays about

a similar topic, and answer questions about the
similarities and differences
