Paws in Contrast

Students read paired passages about dogs and cats as pets, identifying their similarities and differences using a T-chart. They compare qualities such as behavior, care needs, and companionship traits. Follow-up questions encourage personal reflection and critical thinking. This activity strengthens compare-and-contrast reasoning while connecting reading to real-life experiences.
