Compare and contrast reading asks students to set two texts side by side and explain what each one does. There are 4 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Comet or Asteroid? Two Views of Tunguska compares two articles, Compare a Story Scene With Its Film Version looks at an adaptation imagined for the page, and two sheets compare poems by Sandburg and Rossetti and by Teasdale and Hopkins. The sheets practice RI.8.9, RL.8.5 and RL.8.7.
