1. Read the story A Boy and A Jaguar. Compare and contrast the similarities and differences of the zoo jaguars from the wild jaguars in the story. 3.RL.2.3
2. Identify and label the hemispheres and directions of the United States zoo jaguars and the South American wild jaguars. 3.3.4
Resources Needed: Book: A Boy and a Jaguar, compare and contrast chart worksheet, 2 peaches, construction paper, glue, and color pencils/crayons.
Directions:
1. Read the book A Boy and a Jaguar. After reading the book, show the students an example of a compare and contrast chart.
2. Pass the compare and contrast worksheet around to students. Allow students 30 minutes to identify the traits which apply to the jaguars in the zoo, the jaguars in the wild, or both

The student’s comprehension of the characters will rely on the compare and contrast worksheet. If students correctly identify which traits belong to the jaguars in the zoo, the jaguars from the wild, and both jaguars in the story, at least 75% of the time then students receive an “S” for satisfactory. If students score does not identify the correct grouping of characteristic traits 75% of the time, then the students will receive an “U” for unsatisfactory and will need to receive additional help from the teacher.
2. To assess the student’s ability to identify directions, quiz the students on their knowledge of the two different locations of the jaguars from the story. With the United States and South America located on the map have students identify the hemisphere of each area. Furthermore, have students locate which direction of the Equator and Prime Meridian the United States and South American fall into. Last have students determine which direction away from the United States zoo jaguars are from the South American wild jaguars. Each question will have two answers for a sum of ten points. If the student gets at least 9 correct, then the student receives an “A”, if the students get 8 correct, then the student receive a “B”, if the student get 7 correct, then the student receive a “C”, if the student gets 6 correct, then the students receive a “D”, and anything below 6 correct results in an
The assessment that I have chosen for my lesson is a “card sort”. I will have eight graphs copied on card stock ready for the students to cut out. They will analyze each graph, match it to a scenario, and tape it next to the scenario it matches. For each graph, the students will label the x- and y-axes with the appropriate quantity and unit of measure. Then, they will write the title of the problem situation on each graph.
I visited the Sacramento Zoo during the afternoon of April 21, 2017. The weather was wonderful, sunny, warm, and there was a slight breeze. It got a bit more breezy the longer I was there. Visiting the zoo to observe primates allowed me to become a little more aware of how primatologists study primates. Even though I’ve been to many different zoos several different times, I never realized how many primates were associated with the zoos, as well as the variety of primates in the zoos. The Sacramento Zoo has eight different primates, all in different classifications, superfamilies, or subfamilies. While observing the Chimpanzees, White-Handed Gibbon, Mongoose Lemur, White-Faced Saki, and the Wolf’s Guenon I could see the differences
A character is a person in a story that plays a particular role. Stories require characters so that it forms conflicts, tensions and resolutions. Characters also carry certain traits to make the story interesting and unique. Each character might have different attributes. Others could have similar and different qualities. Those who read many novels might notice that characters from various books are similar to each other to an extent, but are not completely the same. The old English poem, Beowulf, and Shakespeare's Macbeth contain characters with similar characteristics. Beowulf and Macbeth share similar traits, but do not have the same objective. Comparing and contrasting determine the similarities and differences of things. Comparing and contrasting is an excellent tool to determine what is right and wrong. When choosing the best car to drive, comparing and contrasting helps in the choice of the best vehicle. Macbeth and Beowulf demonstrate that a warrior's motivations matter for both soldiers and the people.
The overall body size and coloration of the cat often relates to its location - jaguars found in dense forested areas of the Amazon Basin are often only half the size of those found in more open terrain and it has been suggested that this can be related to the more frequent occurrence of larger prey species found in open terrain . Coloration of dense forest dwelling jaguars is often darker than those found in grassland and scrub forest - here, as with the darker coloration of rainforest leopards, the darker coats give better camouflage in the low light condition on the forest floor and offers the dark coated cat greater success in hunting and a greater chance of survival.
This was a compare and contrast essay for the two stories ¨Alice Threw the Looking Glass¨ and ¨Stone Fox¨.This essay presented the differences and similarities for many things.It showed the setting, the characteristics of the main characters,And the conflicts both stories have.This was a five paragraph essay about the two stories and how they are alike and
Tell students that you will be reading them the story of Little Red Riding Hood by Anne Faundez. Tell the children that the story is about a little girl who runs into the Big Bad Wolf on her way to her grandmother’s house. Tell the children that the wolf was very hungry and wanted to eat Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother and that you’ll read the story to see if he does actually eat Little Red Riding Hood and her
... the students a better understanding of what I am looking for in each entry. I think I will use a suggestion from McTighe, “Teachers can also use the examples (with student names removed) with future students to help them see the difference excellent, good, fair, and poor work.”(Richardson, 2009) This will be a great way for students to identify what is expected of them and it will save instructional time in the process so we don’t fall behind in my pacing scale
The lesson incorporates comparing and connecting. This is because students will be comparing the aspects of the book, “My Many Colored Days,” to their masks. They will be assigned a color/emotion and connecting the book to their emotion. For example, if the student is assigned the color yellow, which is a happy emotion, they will make a mask that expresses those. Such as, a smiling face and yellow incorporated in the mask. They will also be comparing their masks to other people masks because a person assigned with yellow and a person assigned with black will have very different masks. The students will realize that these two emotions, in real life and on their masks are very
Michelle Carr uses the rhetorical mode of argumentation for the purpose of persuasion in her article, “The Reality of Zoos.” Carr focuses on the issue of the imprisonment and maltreatment of zoo animals in her article. She effectively presents her points by using the persuasive methods of pathos and logos. Carr establishes an emotional connection with the reader by recalling an occasion she noticed how unhappy zoo animals were during a childhood memory. Carr also uses logic and reasoning; she appeals to the reader by using facts and figures about the suffering zoo animals experience, for instance, the animals developing “zoochosis” and the animals being forcibly inseminated for money-making purposes. By establishing an emotional connection

Furthermore, what is to be accomplished is the comparison of their lives with those of their grandparents and alongside with this the comparison and contrast of these information with the ones in the articles that were covered in class.
David Hone, a dinosaur and pterosaurs specialist and previous zoo volunteer, reveals that there are in fact good zoos. Again, he believes that good zoos are institutions that provide superb care and protection to the animals it houses. A monumental amount of species is going extinct and becoming increasingly threatened across the whole Earth. Dr. Hone clearly states, “Zoos protect against a species going extinct.” However, activists disagree and claim that captivity in zoos is not a humane way to preserve animal lives. Such activists believe that the wild animals kept in zoos should be left alone in the wild with their inherent freedom. In objection, Dr. Hone states, “A lot of very nasty things happen to truly ‘wild’ animals that simply don’t happen in good zoos and to cast a life that is ‘free’ as one that is ‘good’ is, I think, an error “(Hone). In totality, Dr. Hone concludes that fewer species would be living today if it were not for the efforts of zoological institutions to keep them alive. In his experience in working in two zoo facilities, he found that research in zoos is an important resource in keeping deteriorating species and ecosystems alive. Research scientists and experts can study living habits, behavior, and reactions of wild animals in zoos all while remaining safe. Because the animals are not in the wild, the scientists and experts experience less variables in their studies which results in better results. Dr. Hone explains, “Knowing say the

“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb (Stephenie Meyer).” This is the one quote that comes to mind when I think of twilight. I have chose to use two main character from Twilight for my compare and contrast essay. Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward , and Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black. Not only will I compare and contrast the real life people, but I will also compare and contrast the characters from the movie.
