Compare and Contrast - January Writing

Compare and Contrast

This month we will be doing a compare and contrast essay. Students have been asked to pick two of their favorite things, or one thing they like and one thing they don't like to compare. 

To start this assignment students need to make a Venn Diagram with their chosen topics. Students need to write 4 paragraphs: introduction paragraph, similarities paragraph, differences paragraph, and concluding paragraph. They need to have a rough draft edited by someone in their home and then type a final copy. 

The final copy should be 12-14 pt. font. Students may choose any font as long as it is legible. In the top right corner of the paper they need the following information:

Their Name
English 5th Hour
Mrs. Willard
Date

This paper is DUE January 15th.  Students need to turn in their Venn Diagram and rough draft with their final copy. 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks!
