Description
For this assignment, you will write a Compare/Contrast Essay using one of the topics listed below.
A well-organized essay has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case would state what is being compared and/or contrasted.
The body of the essay addresses the similarities, differences, or both similarities and differences. The body of the essay may be organized using the Alternating Method, the Block Method, or the Combination Method.
The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression.
Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 2 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English found in the course syllabus.
