🔓 This is an unlocked sample!
Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Students will read three paragraphs about the same topic, decide what makes each one different, and then create a super-paragraph!
The three paragraphs:
While it sounds like a wolverine might be a type of wolf, they couldn't be any more different. Wolverines are actually in the weasel family. They scavenge for food, while wolves hunt. Wolverines are found in the cold forests of Europe, but wolves live all over the world. Other than their names, wolves and wolverines don't have much in common at all.
A wolverine is not actually a wolf, despite the similar names. They aren't even in the same family! Wolverines are like weasels, while wolves are like dogs. Unlike wolves, wolverines are scavengers. They don't hunt their prey. While wolves live all over the globe, wolverines live only in frigid forests. The only thing wolves and wolverines have in common is that neither one makes a great pet.
Wolverines and wolves are about as similar as poodles and puddles. Wolverines are not in the same family as wolves at all. They're more like weasels! Wolves hunt their prey in packs while wolverines are solitary scavengers. Finally, wolverines live in cold forests, while wolves stalk across the globe. These animals may have similar names, but other than that, they're completely different.
