Description
Your students might be pros at analyzing literary elements like story plot and theme - but comparing and contrasting literary elements in paired passages requires a different set of reading comprehension skills. My Paired Passages and Questions uses paired texts with clear similarities and differences so that students get targeted practice recognizing and analyzing these unstated connections. With 3 differentiated levels for each of my 10 passages, your students will be comparing and contrasting literary elements in Greek mythology, Native American folktales, science fiction, and more!
