Compare/Contrast Matrix graphic organizer
Compare/Contrast Matrix Graphic Organizers allow students to do just that, compare and contrast multiple objects, characters, or concepts from a given text. They are able to see multiple differences and similarities by creating several different subtopics they want to investigate further. This is a great strategy first to get students to comprehend what they are reading, but then also a great source for later when students are writing an essay (Beare, n.d.). This strategy is used best for text that has many details and many facts about people, places, or events (Miller & Veatch, 2011, p. 70).
