To compare means to see how two things are the same, for instance, how the lives of the Pimas were the same as their ancestors the Hohokam.

To contrast means to see how two things are different, for instance, how the lives of the Pimas and Hohokam were different.

Now see if you can think of ways the Pimas and Hohokam were alike and different.

Click on same if both the Hohokam and the Pimas did this.
Click on Pima if only the Pimas did this.

For example:
