Unrelated is not the same as different. Two things can be different but still related if they share a clear connection.
Try it in class or at home
Write one sentence that shows unrelated without using the word unrelated. Then underline the clue words that show something does not connect to the topic or main idea. Example: The report was about planets, but one paragraph described pizza toppings. Clue words: report about planets, but, pizza toppings Now try your own sentence. Ask: Does my sentence show something that does not connect to the main topic?
