Activity #3

Comparing and contrasting two ______________________________.

Let's brainstorm a bit. What two things, places, events, or people can be compared and contrasted?

How does one go about organizing all of that information?

Point by Point
or
Item by Item
Take notes!
 Here are some sample essays.
For homework, read the entire "Hazelnut" essay by clicking on the link. Look for words and phrases that clearly show which hazelnut the author prefers.  Be ready to discuss in class on Tuesday.

In class, we will look at three sample essays.
"Shopping in America"
"Neat People vs. Sloppy People"

Note how the author organizes. Also note how the author clearly shares his or her preference for one topic over another.

For homework - Find two "somethings" to compare and contrast. Conduct research. Talk to people and look on the Internet. (Give credit to your sources.) Write a summary paragraph about each topic. Clearly show which you prefer. Just describe each for now. Also, credit your sources.
