"Christmas Carol" and "Grinch Who Stole Christmas" Compare/Contrast Activities
By Colleen Burdette
Festive way to make connections:
Students read or watch A Christmas Carol and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, my students read A Christmas Carol and watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas, for an engaging activity before the holiday. A Christmas Carol was a challenge for the students, so watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas was a fun distraction.
Students will take notes on the provided worksheets to help keep track of information and make connections in a visual format. Notetaking helps keep students engaged in both stories. This also helps the students look at well know material in a new way.
This active and engaging resource gets students moving and discussing. Students will make paper snowballs out of the provided cards. They will then use these for a snowball fight. When time is up, students will find a partner, uncrumple the paper, and have a discussion.
Students can reach connections and have discussions with the information they gather.

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE
★ Inference Graphic Organizer
★ 2 pages
★ PDF File
★ Suitable for any text or grade
This resource includes:
★ 2 Making Inferences Graphic Organizers (containing Post-It clip art)
These graphic organizers are designed to support students in making inferences using any text under study. As they read, students will make an inference and provide two details, then write explanations for details. This is an excellent tool to help students gather important information before writing a response. The first graphic organizer does not include evidence and explanation sentence stems to help students develop their writing, while the second graphic organizer does - which will help support differentiation in the classroom!
These graphic organizers can be used in whole group instruction, small group instruction, and with novel groups/literature circles. These graphic organizers can also be assigned as a "Purpose for Reading" during silent reading time, classwork, or homework!
