Writing a Comparison–Contrast (pg. 48 in the textbook)
Have you chosen two subjects that have significant similarities?
Does your statement identify the two subjects you are comparing and tell why they are alike (and perhaps also briefly acknowledge their differences)?
Does your paper’s structure follow either a point–by–point or a subject–by–subject pattern?
Does each of your topic sentences identify the subject you are discussing and the point you are focusing on in the paragraph?
Do transitional words and phrases clearly lead readers from subject to subject and from point to point?
Have you followed your instructor’s format and documentation guidelines?
