ALL INFOComparison and Contrast Prewriting
Comparison and contrast involve analyzing similarities
(comparison),
differences (contrast), or both. You use comparison and
contrast
every day, for instance, when you’re trying to decide which
washer
and dryer to buy, or whether to drive or take public
transportation to
work.
Assignment
For this writing assignment, you should be able to prepare a
graphic organizer or
outline for an 1,800- to 2,000-word essay using the
comparison and contrast pattern of development. You’ll choose one of the
assigned topics below and begin your research. Four to six secondary sources
are required. You are required to use American Psychological
Association (APA) citation and documentation format for
parenthetical
(in-text) citation and your list of references.
Topics
Choose one of the following topics:
1 Learning
a job or skill in a course versus hands-on or experiential
learning
2 Communicating
in person or face-to-face versus communicating
electronically by text, direct message, email, and so on
3 Two approaches
to addressing a problem that commonly occurs
in your current work or that you’ll need to deal with in
your future
You’ll need four to six reputable secondary sources for
your
comparison and contrast writing. Refer to the essay
“Alcohol or
Marijuana? A Pediatrician Faces the Question” by Aaron E.
Carroll to
observe how Carroll uses his secondary sources to support
his thesis.
You should use the third-person point of view. You’re
writing for an
audience unfamiliar with your topic, so your goal is to use
language
your readers are familiar with and can relate to. For
example, a nurse
may use clinical terminology when he talks to other nurses,
but he
needs to use layman’s terms when speaking to patients.
You should be able to build on your outline
graphic organizer from your essay to draft and revise
your essay.
