I was not able to post very well last week, so you could not respond; now, we can both get back to work.
Our focus was on the comparison/contrast paper and, by now, you should have your topic. Copy the following on your own paper on a Ms. Word document and complete. By the way, whatever you are comparing or contrasting, you will need to be able to list on a works cited page. We'll talk about what a works cited page is, why it's important, where it goes, and what it lists, this week. For now, copy and complete:
The Comparison/Contrast Paper
Topic: ______________________________________
The basis for comparison--that is, the features that both subjects have in common: (2-3)
Despite the similarities, these two subjects are different in terms of:
(2-3)
THESIS STATEMENT: (REMEMBER: DO NOT USE SIMPLISTIC TERMS SUCH AS "alike" AND "different" or "similarities" OR "differences") - Refer to the examples in the book and on previous blog posts.
***For every contrast or difference noted, there should be an example that comes directly from your subject.***
Make sure your paper follows a very tight, well structured organization
