How the lesson starts: Compare Two Texts on One Topic

Two reporters, one topic
Meet Kit the fox and Bo the badger. They are reporters. They both wrote about pandas! But their texts are not the same. What facts do they share?
Two panda texts
Text A. Pandas are black and white bears. They live in China. Pandas eat bamboo almost all day. Text B. Pandas are black and white bears. They live in China. A baby panda is called a cub.
Check both texts
Kit and Bo check each fact. Pandas live in China? Kit's text says it. Bo's text says it too. That's in both! Pandas eat bamboo? Only Kit's text says it. Not both.
