Step By Step Approach/Writing Comparison-Contrast Essays (Taken from Great Essay, Vol 1)

1) After you have chosen your two-part topic, plan your topic sentence.

2) List all your ideas for points that could be compared or contrasted.

3) Choose the three or four most important points from your list.

4) Decide whether you want to use the point-by-point method or the block method of organizing your paragraph.

5) Write at least one complete sentence for each of the points you have chosen from your list.

6) Write a concluding statement that summarizes the main points, makes a judgment, or emphasizing what you believe is the most important point.

7) Copy your sentences into standard paragraph form.

8) Always make a final check for spelling errors and other mistakes, such as omitted words.
