Reading | Compare and Contrast

Compare and contrast is an activity that is based around identifying and looking at the similarities and differences between two things. The Dippy Dinner Drippers is about a family that always eats messily, and Space Food is about a class that learns how to preserve food in space.

The differences between the two narratives is that Space Food is a cross between an information report and the Dippy Dinner Drippers is an all fiction story. Space Food talks about the bacteria and viruses in food and the Dippy Dinner Drippers narrative talks about eating messily.

The similarities between the texts are that they are both narratives, and that the two texts both talk about food. The last similarity is that the two narratives both include messages/morals which are: (The Dippy Dinner Drippers) eating messily will result with consequences, and (Space Food) that preserving food decreases food waste.

Compare and Contrast assists with understanding as well as establishing information from two texts.
