Unit 4 Week 5 Compare/Contrast

How are Japanese sumo wrestling and Turkish oil wrestling different?

Can you make a sentence with "big"?

How about with "traditional"?

Open Ended

Choose two people to compare and write sentences using the comparative form.

• We can also use the comparative form to show that two people are the very similar, or exactly the same.

• Example: Ares is as strong as Apollo.

• Also, even though they share the same characteristic, we can show how different the people are as follows:

• Example: Demeter is not as young as Persephone.

Open Ended

Write your own sentence comparing two people that are the same/similar.

Superlative Form

• The superlative form is used when we compare three or more people, groups or things.

• Like the comparative form, we use the superlative form to show how similar things are using one characteristic, as follows:

• Example: Hades is the most evil god in Greek mythology.

• Example: Prometheus is the nicest god in Greek mythology.

Open Ended

Choose a person and write sentences comparing them to a group of people using the superlative form.
