Writing Your Compare/Contrast Essay
Prewriting
To get started writing your essay:
Remember that “essay starters” are everywhere. If you keep a journal or diary, a simple event may unfold into an essay. Simply said, your essays may be closer than you think!
Drafting
When drafting your essay:
Develop an enticing title
Use the introduction to pull the reader into your singular experience by setting up the problematic situation.
Think of specific, interesting details or events to incorporate into the essay to grab the reader.
Let the essay reflect your own voice (is your voice serious, humorous, matter-of-fact?)
Organize the essay in a way that may capture the reader, but don’t string the reader along too much with “next, next, next.”
To avoid just telling what happens, SHOW us what happened with vivid examples and/or testimony. Make sure you take time to reflect on why this experience is significant.

Choose a writing prompt as listed above on this page.

Requirements
Be sure to:
Develop your essay by comparison and contrast using the three-points-of analysis scheme
Decide on something you care about so that the narration is a means of communicating an idea
Include characters, conflict, sensory details as appropriate to help your essay come alive
Create a logical sequence for your points of comparison
Develop an enticing title
Use the introduction to establish the situation the essay will address
Avoid addressing the assignment directly (don’t write “I am going to write about”¦” – this takes the fun out of reading the work!)
Let the essay reflect your own voice (Is your voice serious? Humorous? Matter-of-fact?)
Avoid “telling” your reader about what happened. Instead, “show” what happens using active verbs and/or concrete and descriptive nouns and details.
Make sure you take time to reflect on why your points are significant.
Note: If you developed your prewriting by hand on paper, scan or take a picture of your prewriting, load the image onto your computer, and then insert the image on a separate page after your draft
