Shakerag Lesson Plan Template-Compare and Contrast

This differentiated lesson plan template for 5th grade reading focuses on comparing and contrasting texts that explore similar themes. Students will be grouped based on their reading level and personal book choice. They will read paired texts that are differentiated for content based on interest and reading level. As a formative assessment, students will work in partners to compare and contrast how two texts approach similar themes using explicit and implicit evidence from both texts, either in a written summary or multimedia presentation. The lesson involves playing song clips to introduce themes, partner work analyzing paired texts, and an individual assessment comparing themes across two independently chosen texts.

Hook: Play a short snippet of the songs I Feel Good by James Brown and
Happy by Pharrel. Ask the students to discuss with their seat partners if they
have a similar theme and what explicit evidence can you use to support or deny
this claim. Quickly, debrief as a class.
Partner Work:
Give a brief review of theme. It isnt the main idea, it is THE MEssage.
Assign students to partners and paired texts depending on reading level.
Follow a close reading protocol but with a partner. The partners begin by
simply reading the paired texts. Next, students will take notes on a theme
that they have in common. They need to include explicit support from both
texts. As the groups are working, the teacher needs to continue to ask
questions like..What is the theme? Why did you choose this theme?
What support are you using from both texts?
Have each group debrief with other partnerships that had the same texts.
Then, debrief as a group.
Independent Work/Assessment:
As an individual, compare and contrast two texts approaches to similar themes.
Students may use independent novels, class shared readings, or read alouds.
Remember to include explicit and implicit support using both texts. You may write
a summary or create a multimedia presentation.
