Compare/Contrast: Organizational Pattern
Introduction (10+ sentences):
What, generally, are the subjects and what are the author’s attitude towards the subject? This is where a brief summary of a few sentences of each article is appropriate. State the thesis at the end of the introduction paragraph including both authors and article titles (in quotation marks, not italics).
Body (10-15+ sentences in six body paragraphs):
First, decide points and how to present. Organize ideas in a clear structure
(All comparison, then all contrasts OR compare and contrast each point).
Determine a strategy for dividing the information into three or more parts. Devote a paragraph to each major division and provide a topic sentence at the start of each paragraph.
Possibilities:
Discuss all comparisons, then discuss all contrasts.
Or alternate compare and contrast point 1, then compare and contrast point 2, then compare and contrast point 3.
There should be six body paragraphs.
Each topic sentence must state how the two articles are alike or different.
Sample topic sentences:
Comparison: The articles, "name" and "name," have the same . . . .

Comparison: Both Simon and Beck agree . . .
Contrast: While Simon and Beck agree on . . . , they approach _______ very differently.
Comparison: Simon and Beck both discuss . . .
Contrast: Although both authors ____, they differ in how they . . . .
Provide transitions between body paragraphs, and between important ideas within the paragraphs as you summarize.
Use comparison transition words such as like, same, similar, both, and just as.
Use contrast transitions words such as but, however, on the other hand, yet, in contrast, and despite.
Important: Provide three in-context citations from the two articles and one NCLIVE article and a Works Cited with the four citations.
