Reread aloud from the paragraph of the Compare and Contrast Model Essay.
Focus students on the sentence:
“Perhaps the biggest similarity between the book and the movie is the feeling of strength and power both readers and viewers experience as they make this fantastic journey alongside Percy and his friends.”
Use the Language Dive Guide: Compare and Contrast Model Essay, Conclusion and Reflection (for teacher reference) to guide students through a Language Dive conversation about the sentence. Distribute and display the Language Dive: Compare and Contrast Model Essay, Conclusion and Reflection note-catcher, and the Language Dive: Compare and Contrast Model Essay, Conclusion and Reflection sentence chunk strips. Refer to the Language Dive: Compare and Contrast Model Essay, Conclusion and Reflection note-catcher (example for teacher reference) for guidance.

“I can compare and contrast what I see and hear when I read the text to what I perceive when I watch the same scene of the movie.”
“I can plan the conclusion of a compare and contrast essay with a strong reflection.”
Invite students to refer to their Painted Essay® template to remember the parts of a conclusion paragraph:
– Restated focus statement
