Helping students see the difference!

One of the hardest writing assignment for students is the comparison/contrast–how are two items alike and/or how are they different?  Perhaps Diffen will eliminate the confusion for those students.  Try comparing Steinbeck and his contemporary Hemingway.  A science teacher might ask students to compare cells:  animal cell vs. plant cell.   Or perhaps a health teacher might challenge students to compare/contrast the abdomen and the stomach.

Diffen has the capability of searching Wikipedia to develop a comparison/contrast chart; however, students can also complete the chart with information gleaned from classroom studies or other research tools.  Also, check out the categories of predefined subjects for comparison.
