    I liked that the activities are scaffolded. There are activities just comparing familiar items that student know, like a hat and a mitten using a Venn diagram. Then students read passages and compare and contrast the objects in the 2 passages on a Venn diagram. After they write 2 sentences about how they are similar and how they are different. My only issue is that the passages were a little blurry on the google slide.
