As one of our last units in K-1 this year we have been studying the differences between the city and the country.  We read “City Kid, Country Kid” an informative text as well as “Town Mouse, Country Mouse”.  We filled out a venn diagram filling out text to text comparisons between the two stories.

Then we wrote a persuasive piece about why which is better, the city or the country.  We also created an art piece depicting which place we believed is better.

We also made character comparisons between the Country mouse and city mouse and wrote about how their life was different from their friends’ life.
