Give them 5 minutes to come up with links between the different stimulus. Get them to talk through their links with one another after the five minutes. They will have some similarities and some differences. You could cut the sheet up and its turns into a more kinesthetic activity.
This classroom thinking can then easily be turned into an essay.
