Deer in Summer and Winter

Compare two texts about deer.

Read two texts

Read both texts. Think about how they are alike and how they are different.

Text A: Deer in Summer

In summer, the woods are warm and green. Deer eat grass, leaves and flowers. A deer's coat is thin and reddish brown in summer. The thin coat helps it stay cool. A baby deer is called a fawn. A fawn has white spots on its back. The spots help it hide in the sunny woods. A male deer is called a buck. In summer, a buck's antlers grow bigger.

Text B: Deer in Winter

In winter, the woods are cold. In many places, snow covers the ground. Grass and flowers are hard to find. Deer eat twigs and buds from trees and bushes. A deer's coat is thick and grayish brown in winter. The thick coat helps it stay warm. Some deer rest together under pine trees, where there is less snow. In winter, many bucks lose their antlers. New antlers grow in spring.
