Santiago Lopez is a young man who needed help. In this video segment from Wild TV, Santiago admits he was beginning to hang out with the wrong people and was getting into trouble in school. His family consistently urged him to change and “to do the r...ight thing." In order to steer his life in a meaningful direction, Santiago became involved in a program called Green Chimmenys where he had the opportunity to help himself by learning how to train therapy dogs. Santiago trained Morris, a golden retriever, who in turn helped Linda Goldberg, a woman with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, deal with her extreme physical pain. Lesson plans are included with this link. (04:23)
Overview
Students take notes on a T-Chart to show how Morris, a therapy dog, helps Santiago and Lisa. Then students use a graphic organizer to write a paragraph using the compare and contrast organizational structure.
Why is this an important concept?
When learners can take ideas and compare and contrast them, they can better comprehend the complexity of the ideas. Comparing and contrasting looks at the similarities and differences between or among ideas. Noting the similarities and differences in ideas leads to the abilities to generalize, categorize, sort, evaluate, and understand new information.
