COMPARE AND CONTRAST

Remember this: • Compare by telling how two or more things are alike.

• Contrast by telling how two or more things are different.

Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.

Most people enjoy seeing goldfinches in summer. The cheerful little birds are bright

yellow with dark markings on their wings and tail. In winter, these birds seem to

disappear. Some goldfinches do fly south, but many more stay right in the same

neighborhood all year long. They seem to disappear because their yellow feathers

turn brown to blend with the drab winter surroundings. The brown feathers help keep them from

being an easy target for hungry enemies. In winter, you might mistake them for sparrows, unless

you see their dark markings, which stay the same. The next time you see a group of colorless

looking little birds perched in a brown, tree, take a closer look. They might be goldfinches hiding

out for the winter.

1. Compare and contrast goldfinches in summer with goldfinches in winter.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

2. How are goldfinches like sparrows during winter?

_______________________________________________________________________________________

3. How can you tell the difference between goldfinches and sparrows in winter?

_______________________________________________________________________________________

4. Do you think goldfinches that fly south change color? Why or why not?

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Remember: • A character is a person or animal in a story.

• The setting is when and where a story takes place.

• The plot of a story includes the important things that happen at the beginning, middle,

and end. Read the short story, and then complete the chart:

Lion and Mouse were best friends. They lived in the middle of a grassy plain,

where Lion hunted zebras and Mouse ate seeds and nuts. Late one afternoon,

Lion was caught in a hunter’s net. Mouse heard his roars and rushed over to

help. She chewed at the ropes around her friend until he was able to get free.

“Thank you, Mouse,” said Lion. “A true friend would do no less,” replied Mouse.
