What if you could choose any place in the world or universe as your home? What place would you choose? How does your choice compare to those of your classmates?

With a partner, make a list of places where people could live. Take a survey. Ask five other students which place they would choose to live. List their responses in a chart like this one. Then compare the results.

Use Nouns in the Subject and Predicate

When you make comparisons, use nouns in the subjects and predicates of your sentences to tell how people, places, and things are alike or different.

In the Subject:Most people chose the big city as their favorite place to live.
In the Predicate:Both Rachel and Rosa chose the mountains as their favorite place to live.
