Common Core Standards
Grade 5
Reading RL.5.3
Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., how characters interact).
It's pretty much what it says on the tin. Instead of only analyzing one thing as a fourth grader, now they have to compare two of them side by side. For example, students may have to compare Jack and Annie from the Magic Tree House series.
