Learning Goals Include the four HRL learning goals. 

• Identity: Focuses on developing students' understanding of themselves and others.

• Skill: Emphasizes mastering foundational and disciplinary skills.

• Intellect: Aims to build students' knowledge base and capacity for deep thinking.

• Criticality: Encourages students to understand and critique power, equity, and anti-oppression in the world. 

Identities of the classroom: ESL students of three different levels,beginnier,middle and advanced.
Students will learn about themselves by how they see themselves as the wolf in the story

​

Introduction (5 minutes)

​

• Ask students:

“What does it mean to compare and contrast?”

• Explain:

      o Compare = how things are the same
      o Contrast = how things are different

​

2. Read Two Fiction Stories (10–15 minutes)

Read both stories aloud.
Pause to talk about:

Teacher types:

We read “Story A” and “Story B” in 2nd grade. Please list the characters, setting, and problem
from each story using simple words.

Display ChatGPT’s answer.

Ask the class:

• “Does this match what we noticed?”

• “Is there anything we need to fix?”

• “What should we add?”

​

This encourages critical thinking—not blind trust.

​

4. Compare & Contrast With a Venn Diagram (10–15 minutes)

A. Student Work

Students work individually or in pairs to fill in a Venn diagram:

• Middle: how the stories are alike

B. Check Using ChatGPT

Teacher types:

Give us three similarities and three differences between “Story A” and “Story B” in simple 2nd-
grade language.

Students compare ChatGPT’s ideas with their diagrams.
Discuss:

• “Which ideas are the same as ours?”

• “What ideas should we add or correct?”

​

5. Writing Response (5–10 minutes)

Students complete a short writing task:

Sentence starters for Engish Language Learners:

• Both stories have…

• One difference is…

• Another difference is…

• I liked ___ because…

​

Share a few examples aloud.

​

6. Closing (3 minutes)

Review:
