Monday, May 11, 2009 - [ History: Compare & Contrast Questions ]
Here are some guidelines on answering a good compare & contrast question, remember to always answer in complete sentences. And remember to grab a pen and a piece of paper to jot down the notes.


Compare and contrast simply means to look for the similarities and/or differences between two sources.
To do this, you need to refer to some common criteria:
- Source Type
- Provenance
- Content

Example sources ~
Source A:
"Joe is always helping me when I am in trouble. When I am absent he takes notes in class for me." - Joe's friend and classmate.
Source B:
"Even when Joe lends us his things, he will do it very reluctantly. Moreover, whenever he helps someone, he always asks for something in return." - Joe's enemy and classmate.

Question type #01: In what ways are the two sources similar? / How are the two sources similar?
What you need to do #01: Similarities ONLY
(Give 2 similarities in content, supported with evidence from both sources)

Question type #02: In what ways are the two sources different? / How are the two sources different? / How do the two sources differ?
What you need to do #02: Differences ONLY
(Give 2 differences in content, supported with evidence from both sources)

Question type #03: How similar are the two sources? / How are the two sources similar? / To what extent are the two sources similar?
What you need to do #03: Similarities AND Differences
(Give 1 similarity and 1 difference in content, supported with evidence from both sources)
Question type #04: How different are the two sources? / How far are the two sources different? / To what extent are the two sources different?
What you need to do #04: Similarities AND Differences
(Give 1 similarity and 1 difference in content, supported with evidence from both sources)

Introduction #
Firstly, I warmly welcome you to the best online learning site! Basically, I thought of this idea through the many learning portals.
I thought that it would be troublesome, and the learning portals would only allow certain students to get in.
So I decided, why not let the whole world learn online together?
It will SAVE money on buying assessment/guide books, BUILD a strong foundation for the various subjects, and let the whole world ENJOY learning together.
If you want any particular subjects or level to be published on this website, just request and I will try my best.
All the best and keep coming!
