Module 2: Comparison/Contrast Organization

Chapter 10 of your eBook explains that there are two ways to organize a comparison/contrast paper: point-by-point and subject-by-subject.

Your eBook Paragraph Activity: Selecting Supporting Details provides a comparison/contrast graphic organizer. This is an effective tool to use when setting up your paper organization.

Before creating the graphic organizers, you need to determine your thesis.

Sample thesis: Even though my daughter and son have many differences, their similarities help them get along.

Points to Compare and Contrast

Subject A:

daughter

Subject B:

son

*organized

Detail-oriented; good memory; makes lists; marks calendar

Relies on his memory

*sense of humor

Appreciates a good joke; isn’t offended by much

Very quick on clever comebacks

*relationships

Builds them fast, but they don’t always last

Builds them slowly; does not choose to repair those that go awry

Choose one of the options from Activity 10.3 or from Paragraph Activity: Prewriting. Create a chart similar to the one above. Try to avoid the obvious or general comparisons or contrasts that readers already know. Make sure your comparison/contrast is an analysis. 

*Avoid the five star restaurant compared to the fast food one. It isn't a "fair" comparison and, therefore, too difficult
