Teach comparison with this KS3 and GCSE English Language bundle of six worksheets on evidence, inferences and writers’ viewpoints. Build comparisons that keep the same aspect in view across two texts. Students progress from identifying similarities and differences to explaining what details suggest, what people value and why writers hold particular opinions.

Students begin by creating different accounts of the same experience or subject. Comparing their own choices helps them understand how a purpose or viewpoint changes the details a writer includes. They then explore short paired texts and longer accounts, selecting evidence and connecting their explanations.

Includes 6 multi-page student worksheets:

• 16 Same or different
• 17a Compare and explain
• 17b Similarities and differences
• 18 The writer’s viewpoint
• 19 Two writers two viewpoints
• 20b Putting the skills together – two accounts
.
The sequence includes contrasting accounts of a car wash, helping a friend, collecting stones and a fun run. Worksheet 20b consolidates retrieval, inference, language and viewpoint comparison through two accounts about public drinking water.

Part of English Language Foundations by Kate Coldrick. Suitable for KS3 teaching and KS4 GCSE English Language intervention, including tuition, small groups and home education. Clear instructions and an uncluttered layout can be helpful for autistic and other neurodivergent students who benefit from explicit, manageable tasks.

Also available in other bundles: All six worksheets are also included in English Language Foundations Volume 2. They are different from those in the Structure and Evaluation bundle.
