My co-teacher and I have used the Concept Comparison Routine in various lessons thus far this school year, including How the Grinch Stole Christmas, "The Landlady," and A Night to Remember. It was used to compare and contrast the book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and the most recent version of the movie. After reading "The Landlady," the class watched two different movie versions of the short story. We then used the Multi-Concept Comparison Table to distinguish the similarities and differences among the three versions of the story. For A Night to Remember, students used the Multi-Concept Comparison Table to compare and contrast the three different social classes of passengers on the Titanic in order to build background knowledge prior to reading the book.
