This printable worksheet/activity was written to address the following Common Core Informational Text Standards in Grades 2-4.
RI.2.9: Compare and contrast the most important points presented by two texts on the same topic.
RI.3.9: Compare and contrast the most important points and key details presented in two texts on the same topic.
RI.4.9: Integrate information from two texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably.
© Copyright 2010. National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and Council of Chief State School Officers. All rights reserved.
Students read two different 120-word texts on having potbellied pigs as house pets. The articles have similarities and differences in facts and author's opinion. They then compare and contrast the important points and key details in the two texts in six multiple-choice questions. This is followed by a writing activity where they demonstrate knowledge and integrate information from the texts to write a persuasive paragraph.
Please see the PREVIEW, which shows the texts used for teaching the standard, to see if this printable might work for your students in meeting this key Common Core Standard. The printable has been left as a Word document so you can edit and adjust it if you wish.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I have been an upper elementary and middle school teacher for 31 wonderful years and have loved every minute of it. For me, content is the key. I believe the plans, printables, and worksheets I have created have above all else high-quality content, but are also practical and ready-to-use. Each item I sell has been used in my classroom or by a part of my teaching team (teacher-tested) and is clearly written. I won't put any lesson or idea on TeachersPayTeachers unless I am certain YOU can understand it, teach with it today, and that it has value for children.
