Compare and Contrast Instructions
Compare/Contrast Essay – Choose one topic provided in these instructions to compare and/or contrast.
The table below provides an extensive list of topic options from which you must select, and we recommend that you choose one from below that you are interested in beyond this course. For instance, if you are a Finance or Business major, you might be interested in the Dividends v. Capital Gains topic. If you are a Science major, you might choose Hybrid Seeds v. GMO Seeds. Or perhaps you’re taking StraighterLine’s Survey of World History course, in which case you might opt to research the similarities and differences between the United States and the Roman Empire. You will use at least two credible sources to support your claims, and remember, you must include your sources throughout the body paragraphs of your essay in a mix of cited quotes, paraphrases, and summaries. Both the support and research portions of the rubric will be negatively affected if you do not integrate your researched data.
· Rosa Parks vs. Harriett Tubman
· Treaties vs. Executive Agreements
· Roman Empire vs. United States
· Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” vs. Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken”
· Verbal vs. Nonverbal Communication
· Biblical Old Testament vs. New Testament
· Leonardo di Vinci vs. Michelangelo
· Apple Ipad vs. Microsoft Surface

Write an essay comparing or contrasting the two topics in your selection using EITHER the point-by-point OR the subject-by-subject method to organize the details and specific examples. Consider focusing on three to five subtopics and generate ideas through prewriting. Develop a strong thesis statement for your essay that includes your two topics from the list above; your three to five subtopics; and a claim about how they are similar, different, or both.
Sample Thesis Statements:
If you will argue that your two topics are mostly similar:
Topic A and Topic B share many similar characteristics, including (Supporting point 1), (Supporting point 2), and (Supporting point 3); while they differ in (Additional supporting point), the similarities greatly outweigh the differences.
OR
If you will argue that your two topics are mostly different:
While Topic A and Topic B have (Additional supporting point) in common, they are mostly quite different; in fact, they differ in characteristics such as (Supporting point 1), (Supporting point 2), and (Supporting point 3).
OR
If you will argue that your two topics have many important/interesting similarities and differences:
Analyzing Topic A and Topic B reveals many fascinating similarities as well as differences; for instance, they share (Supporting point 1) and (Supporting point 1), but are vastly different when it comes to (Supporting point 3) and (Supporting point 4).
Tips
To brainstorm, you might consider using a Venn diagram or a simple list to show what your topics have in common and how they differ. Then you can select the most prominent or interesting characteristics that you want to highlight in your paper.
Be sure to avoid beginning your comparisons or contrasts in the introduction. Your thesis is the only place in the introduction where you will include this information. Use the introduction to get your reader’s attention, and consider using a good strategy that leads into the topic. For instance, you might relate a short anecdote to illustrate your topic, an interesting quotation that relates to your topic, or perhaps a surprising statistic that reveals something about your topic.
Then, in the body paragraphs remember to support your claim(s) outlined in the thesis. For instance, if one of your points says the city and the country are different in terms of transportation, be sure the topic sentence of one body paragraph presents a similar statement. In addition, spend equal time on each subtopic in each body paragraph, and one way to develop organized body paragraphs is to focus on one topic before moving to the next one so that the paragraph support is split 50/50. In other words, using the example above, you would explain the transportation options in the city in full, and then, you would detail the types of contrasting transportation in the country. End each body paragraph with a strong concluding sentence that synthesizes that paragraph’s discussions.
The conclusion should sum up the specific supporting points as well as your overall assessment of why these points are important. Consider what kinds of interesting or new conclusions you can draw from your comparison. In other words, your essay must reveal why your comparison is important. A well-developed paragraph often contains a minimum of five sentences. Note that any of the main sections below labeled with Roman Numerals (I, II, III, IV) could be more than just a single paragraph.

Title of essay:
Author of essay:
EDITOR:
1.) Does the introduction contain a thesis statement? If so, what is it? If you cannot identify a thesis, try to summarize the author’s argument and perhaps suggest a thesis, or an idea for a thesis.
2.) Is the writer’s voice appropriate to purpose and audience? (Is appropriate language and vocabulary used?)
3.) Does each paragraph support the thesis statement? Are each of the paragraphs well developed?
4.) Does the author provide adequate support for his/her assertions? Note any claim that you feel is not sufficiently supported and suggest textual evidence that the author might add for better support.
5.) Are two examples cited from the text to support the thesis? Does the paper follow MLA formatting guidelines? If not, give specific examples to help the author comply with MLA formatting guidelines.
6.) Is the writing clear? Did you come across any sentences that did not make sense? Was there anything that seemed too wordy or confusing, and you felt needed to be stated in a simpler, clearer way? Cite these paragraphs or sentences that you found confusing or wordy. Give suggestions for improvement.
7.) Are the quotations incorporated correctly? Is parenthetical citation used correctly? If not, give the author tips/rules for improvement.
8.) Look for patterns of errors- spelling and grammar mistakes that are repeated throughout the paper. Some writers have problems with comma splices; others struggle with sentence fragments. List one or more example(s) of a repeated error and correct it. Do not correct every error.
9.) Give 2-3 specific suggestions about how to improve the essay.
10.) Give the writer 3 positive comments about his/her essay.
Give us a scene that you remember from when you first arrived in Miami. If you settled in Miami, describe where you (and/or your family) settled: address, physical description of the place where you lived, neighbors, landscape, streets. Give sounds, colors, names of places and people. How old were you? What was the year? The season? The weather? Give us a specific account of one moment in your life then and your impressions of the place. Include dialogue, setting, gestures.
NOTE: Use past or present tense but be consistent.
Which one is a scene? A or B? Remember that your stories need to be on scene. Create a movie in the mind of the reader, moment to moment.
The authors of our textbook argue that the skill of cognitive complexity contributes to satisfying relationships (p.24). They further explain the connection of high cognitive complexity to the development of empathy (p. 126). In our chapter on perception and they suggest that using a Japanese tool like the ‘pillow method’ can help us develop empathy for another person by hearing their perspectives on an issue from five different angles.
Look in your textbook on the page that is titled ‘skill builder’ (page 135). As this skill builder suggests you can have the person you would like to work with there with your OR you can try to do this alone. Keep in mind that by doing it alone you will probably not do as good of a job since the goal is to work to develop an understanding of their perspective. This way you and your partner can check each other as you go through this. There is an example of a completed Pillow Method activity “in action” on pages 134 of our textbook. You can look at this to understand how this works!
This is a fantastic way to begin to see that we can understand things differently and we can learn these different perspectives by listening to each other and requesting the other person to share their perspective.
Do the activity with a partner and submit your reflection/response to the questions on the Skill builder with your copy of the filled out form. Answer the questions first and then fill out the form using the responses that you have created. Be sure to provide your response to question five as a brief summary paragraph at the top or after you fill out the form.

Fad Diet Rubric
Review of Fad Diets – We can each list a dozen of popular diets (legit or not!) that we have heard discussed or maybe tried ourselves over the years! It seems like every day a new one pops up. Choose one that you are less familiar with or have been curious to know more about. It can come from a book, a video, a supplement etc. Spend some time researching the “diet”. Is there any science behind it? How did it begin? Are the findings sound? Is it sustainable? What makes it work? Does it in fact work? Put together 5-7 slides through PowerPoint describing this diet and explaining to us whether you think it is a wise choice or not. Record voice over on the PowerPoint turn in the presentation on Canvas on or before Friday 8 am CT. This assignment is worth 100 points.
***YOU CANNOT CHOOSE THE KETOGENIC DIET*** This diet has been review thousands of times and it is usually everyone’s first choice. Please do some research, get creative and find another fad diet that interests you.
***Your PowerPoint must be 5-7 slides of information, that does not include your title slide or your reference slide. You will not be deducted points if you create more slides than that. Just be sure to have at least 5-7 information containing slides.
***You must have at least 3 reputable sources. Please do not use sites like Wikipedia – that is not always a credible source.
The rubric is in the week 2 module. I would encourage you to take a look at it so you know what I am expecting and how I will be grading what you turn in.
The following is a grading rubric. BEFORE you turn in your presentation, be sure to check it according to this rubric AND the description on the syllabus.
