Description

This resource contains everything you need in order to teach the compare contrast essay! Tailored towards a literary analysis of two (or more!) texts, this resource is perfect for high school teachers, particularly grades 9-11, or advanced grade 8 classes.

The resources in this product are designed to walk students through the process of writing a compare contrast essay for two literary texts (poem, short story, novel, article, film, etc.). It also contains general templates for the purpose of comparing historical/current events, people, ideas, theories, etc.

These resources are most effective if students have already learned how to analyze a piece of literature and are beginning to make comparisons between two or more, in the form of an essay.
