Definition: The act of comparing or the state or process of being compared.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look,
At ‘comparison,’ a concept we must cook!
That dictionary definition, it rings so true,
“The act of comparing” – what does that mean to you?
It's more than just saying “this is good and this is bad,”
It’s noticing the similarities, feeling glad.
Think about a flower, bright and bold,
And another bloom, a story to be told.
We compare their colors, shapes, and scent so sweet,
Finding what they have in common, can't be beat!
Or maybe two students, working side by side,
Comparing their answers, with knowledge as our guide.
It’s about noticing differences too, it's plain to see,
But understanding
why
and
how
they agree – that's the key!
So ‘comparison’ is a process, a thoughtful art,
Of looking closely at things, right from the start.
Does anyone want to give me an example of their own? Let’s hear it!
