The implementation of the Common Core State Standards has altered the way in which language arts classes are conducted. The emphasis has now been placed on comparing and contrasting two texts at the same time, and using evidence from the texts themselves to demonstrate a successful analysis.
This book, written by two teachers, guides students through the process of examining two similar texts at the same time to derive meaning and understanding by drawing evidence directly from what is written. They provide techniques such as graphic organizers and charts to keep track of similarities and differences. Literature and informational texts are used as examples.
Readers interested in becoming better readers will enjoy the advice provided and will gain a better appreciation of comparing and contrasting texts.
