You have to admit that I haven’t been plugging
my own books too much this year, but today, I will. I have a series of books
that is absolutely perfect for discussing compare /contrast text structures
with your students:
Alligator or Crocodile? How Do You Know?
Butterfly or Moth? How Do You Know?
Salamander or Lizard? How Do You Know
Shark or Fish? How Do You Know?
But there are other books that also work well
for this kind of lesson. Many of them are by the incomparable Steve Jenkins.
What can I say. The main is a genius.
How Many Ways Can You Catch a Fly? by Steve Jenkins
What Do You Do When Something Wants to Eat? You by Steve Jenkins
Actual Size by Steve Jenkins
Prehistoric Actual Size by Steve Jenkins
Living Color by Steve Jenkins
Wings by Sneed Collard
