Two comprehensive literary device charts are provided to prompt students to take a close look at both tales and to think beyond the obvious (like the fact that they are written by different authors) and consider the deeper similarities and differences differences (like plot structure, values of the characters, and lessons the stories try to teach) between them. These thoughtfully-constructed materials will help students develop exemplary compare/contrast essays that they can be proud of!

Product Includes:

• Complete assignment directions
• 2 Literary device worksheets
• Venn diagram chart
• Essay graphic organizer (Block Method)
• Rubric

The skit can be printed on one side of a sheet of paper and the questions on the other for a really easy, no prep Christmas activity. The grammar level is intermediate.
