Stories by the same author. Different sentences/phrases typed up from Julia Donaldson books: A squash and a squeeze, Sharing a shell and Follow the Swallow. My class really enjoyed spliting them into groups. SOme chose 'people, animal, object&' others chose to group sentences according to punctuation or language. They were allowed to chose whether to use a venn diagram (hoops on floor) or large carroll diagrams I made up. I used this as a start for thinking about similarities and differences in books by the same author.
