A grid is a tool for processing and organising information. The purpose is
for students to identify the differences and similarities between two or
more 'features', people, places, groups, events, artifacts etc.
Present the students with the outline of the grid with the headings you
would like them to focus on. As they become more experienced you may like to
let them design their own headings and grids.
The students then read/listen/view the text and fill in the grid with the
appropriate information. You may like to provide a list of key vocabulary
terms to help get the students started.
A compare and contrast grid can then be used as the framework for written
paragraphs that compare and contrast.
