their Reader’s Book, that
demonstrates the compare-
contrast organizational pattern.

differences go.
• Go through the chart with them
and ask them to say which
country agrees with each
statement (i. e. Japan and the
UK believe that “tea is made in
small quantities.”).
• Draw a Venn diagram on the
board and provide an example.
• Allow some time for students to
complete the rest of the diagram.
• Check their answers. If someone does not agree with something, ask them to support their opinions by
referencing the essays.
