Source Comparison Organizer Printable

About this printable

Compare what two sources say about the same question while keeping their evidence separate. The organizer supports reading and research without assuming that agreement between two sources proves a claim.

Source Comparison Organizer Printable with four labeled writing sections: Shared question, Source A: claim and support, Source B: claim and support, Agreement and questions

How to use it

Write a focused question before reading. Record each source’s main response and the evidence it supplies, with enough reference information to find it again. Identify differences in scope or date that may explain an apparent disagreement.

Check and adapt

Check whether the sources are independent and appropriate for the question. List what still needs verification rather than choosing a source only because it matches your expectations. For high-stakes topics, use the relevant authoritative guidance and qualified support.
