Place Contrast Answer Key

Students choose two real or imaginary places and describe how they are similar and different using sensory and descriptive details. They first name the two locations, then identify a similarity, and then describe differences in appearance and in sensory experience. Finally, students write a short comparative paragraph summarizing how the two places are alike and different. This worksheet develops both descriptive-writing skills and compare-and-contrast thinking. It encourages students to observe details closely and express comparisons clearly. The activity also strengthens paragraph construction and organization.
