**[|Larry Ferlazzo’s Websites of the Day…]**…For Teaching ELL, ESL, & EFL has a link to Brad Patterson Blog Challenge: Compare and Contrast photo assignment.

“Brad Patterson has begun a **[|“Blog Challenge: compare and contrast photo”]** inviting bloggers to share two somewhat similar photos that students can “compare and contrast.” It’s a great idea, and you can find a list of links on Brad’s blog of teachers who have taken up that challenge and posted their own two similar photos. It’s a treasure trove!

= Blog challenge: compare and contrast photo = Posted on [|September 27, 2011] by [|Brad]

Anne Hodgson posted a quick pic post yesterday and its humor got the ball rolling on a fun idea. We sent a few tweets back and forth and decided to challenge you to choose two photos to “compare and contrast” something similar but different.
 * Been awhile since I’ve seen any blog challenges… **

Can’t wait to see how creative the PLN is on this one.

I took a few minutes and looked backed over my photos and fell on two I felt like sharing. Here’s my great great grandfather and below is me on my 53 vespa with which I sputtered all around LA in 2005.



1) What is similar about their outfits ?

2) If you asked them “what are you about to do”, what would they answer ? Check out the examples on Brads site that others posted: @http://www.edulang.com/blog/blog-challenge-compare-and-contrast-photo/
