Compare and Contrast:
Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
The students read two stories in the same genre and created a presentation that compares and contrasts them. This could be an essay with images, a poster, a slideshow, a video, or any other creative product. The presentation introduces the audience to the genre and summarizes the two stories. It also compares and contrasts themes, characters, settings, and events in the stories. Comparisons are supported by quoting directly from the texts.
