Signal words for compare and contrast texts include like, unlike, both, also, similar to, and different  \nCircle the text's signal words, underline the differences and put a squiggly line under the similarities.  \nTeam Sports and Individual Sports  \nNearly any sport can be grouped into one of two types: team sports and individual sports. While team sports are played with groups of players who work together, individual sports are competed in by one person at a time. People who participate in both types of sports are being active, building skills and improving their physical health. However, how athletes train and compete is different for each type of sport.  \nIn team sports, like soccer, baseball or basketball, players must cooperate in order to succeed. Each player has an important role, and they must work together to score points and defend themselves against the opposing team. Plus, athletes involved in team sports have to learn how to communicate during games, how to treat each other respectfully and how to support one another. Athletes in team sports often build friendships as they learn how to work closely with their teammates.  \nIndividual sports, which can include tennis, golf and swimming, are different from team sports because athletes compete on their own. These athletes don’t have teammates to rely on. They are responsible for their own performance, and their success depends on their personal effort, their ability to focus and their own skill. Personal growth and progress are a big part of individual sports. Individual athletes spend time practicing alone and with their coach to improve their techniques and reach their goals.  \nThese two types of sports also share many similarities. Both team sports and individual sports require dedication, a lot of practice and good sportsmanship. All athletes must learn how to win and lose gracefully, how to follow rules and how to respect their coaches and their opponents. Though the experiences are very different, both types of sports also offer valuable experiences that athletes will likely remember for the rest of their lives.  \nUse your annotations to complete this graphic organizer about the differences and similarities of team sports and individual sports.  \n\n| Team\u003Cbr>Sports |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Both |  |\n| Individual Sports |  |\n\nAnswers  \nPossible Answers:  \nTeam Sports  \n- Played with groups of players who work together  \n- Players must cooperate in order to succeed  \n- Each player has an important role  \n- Players work together to score points  \n- Players work together to defend against the opposing team  \n-Athletes learn how to communicate during games  \n-Athletes learn how to treat each other respectfully  \n-Athletes learn how to support one another  \n-Athletes often build friendships with their teammates  \nBoth  \n- People stay active  \n- Build skills  \n- Improve physical health  \n- Involve building new skills  \n- Require a lot of practice  \n- Require dedication  \n- Require good sportsmanship  \n-Athletes must learn how to win gracefully  \n-Athletes must learn how to lose gracefully  \n-Athletes must follow rules  \n-Athletes must respect their coaches  \n-Athletes must respect their opponents  \n-Offer valuable experiences athletes may remember for the rest of their lives  \nIndividual Sports  \n-Are competed in by one person at a time  \n-Athletes compete on their own  \n-Athletes cannot rely on teammates  \n-Athletes are responsible for their own performance  \n-Success depends on personal effort  \n-Success depends on the ability to focus  \n-Success depends on individual skill  \n- Personal growth is a big part of individual sports  \n-Athl","cbCaimZScuk7yaDc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimZScuk7yaDc","pdf",109773,"English","# Compare and Contrast Text Structure\n## Signal Words and Annotation Tasks\n# Team Sports vs. Individual Sports\n## Differences\n## Similarities\n# Graphic Organizer and Answers","[{\"question\":\"What does compare and contrast mean in a nonfiction text?\",\"answer\":\"It means the author explains how two or more things are alike and different.
