Compare and contrast the two texts.
When comparing and contrasting, remember to:
• write about how the information in one text was somewhat different (and somewhat the same) as the information in the other text
• compare and contrast the texts (or parts of texts) in terms of perspective, craft, and/or structure
• think about which author is on which side of the disagreement (when texts contradict each other), and try to figure out why the two authors might each say something different.

Question 4
Responses in level 3 zoom in on information that is similar and different in the texts.
Responses in level 4 show that students are thinking not just about the content, but about treatment of the topic. They may consider the focus, weight, structure, or perspective of each text.
Responses at level 5 include specific details from the text when comparing and contrasting. Responses at this level will also compare and contrast in different ways. Students might discuss specific differences in authors’ perspective, craft, or structure.
Responses at level 6 have a more mature grasp of the essential similarities and differences and will tend to sum these up more precisely. Responses will also compare and contrast in different ways. Students might discuss specific differences in authors’ perspective, craft, or structure. The student will tend to especially discuss craft techniques and how these help make the message or meaning more powerful.
