  1. WORLD LITERATURESEPTEMBER 25 Warm-up: Instead of a regular warm-up, today’s warm-up will be both a warm-up AND a quiz on punctuation marks! On a separate sheet of paper, answer the following questions (do not write the whole answer, just the letter). Try your best to remember all the rules that you learned over the weekend about punctuation marks!

  2. REMINDERS • Homework: Finish introduction outline. Due tomorrow. • Read all directions very carefully. • Rubric for Essay… • Compare/contrast essay due Tuesday, October 2nd • Must be typed • Must be in MLA format (use MLA packet and MLA homework to make sure it’s MLA format). • If you would like to use my room’s computer before/after school or at lunch, let me know which days. Otherwise, remember– the library is open for your typing pleasure.

  3. STANDARDS Writing 1.3: Structure ideas and arguments in a sustained, persuasive, and sophisticated way and support them with precise and relevant examples.

  4. COMPARE AND CONTRAST The body paragraphs: • (TOPIC SENTENCE): Start each paragraph by naming the point of comparison that you will focus on. • (EXPLAIN): Explain/expand upon sentence #1. • (SIMILARITY): Give one similarity that you noticed in this point of comparison. • (EVIDENCE): Give evidence from story #1 to prove similarity • (EVIDENCE): Give evidence from story #2 to prove similarity • (EXPLAIN): Explain similarity of both pieces of evidence. • (DIFFERENCE): Give one difference that you noticed under this same point of comparison. • (EVIDENCE): Give evidence from BOTH stories to prove the difference. • (EXPLAIN) Explain difference between both evidence. • (CONCLUSION): Wrap up your paragraph.

  5. COMPARE AND CONTRAST • The conclusion paragraph: • (RESTATE): Restate your thesis statement in different words. • (REVISIT): Review the most important parts of the essay that you gave in your three paragraphs. • (APPLY): Explain why comparing stories is relevant to our own lives. • (THEME): Explain what these differences and similarities prove about each culture.

  6. COMPARE/CONTRAST Sample: McDonald’s vs. In-and-Out 1. Food quality Body Paragraph #1: Discuss your first point in both subjects Body Paragraph #2: Discuss your second point in both subjects 2. Price Each paragraph must both COMPARE and CONTRAST based on one POINT OF COMPARISON. Body Paragraph #3: Discuss your third point in both subjects 3. Accessibility

  7. WRITING RULES Now it’s time for our BODY PARAGRAPH PUTTING TOGETHER RELAY RACE! • We will soon count off by 7’s and get into groups. • Next, your group will receive a body paragraph… but all the sentences will be mixed up! • Using the notes on how to construct a body paragraph in a compare/contrast essay, you will have to put the sentences into the right order. • When you think you have the sentences in the right order, raise your hands. • Winner will get candy! (Reese's or Snickers) • Any questions?

  8. COMPARE AND CONTRAST • What are the names of the four sentences in your introduction?

  9. COMPARE AND CONTRAST • On the worksheet provided to you, start to plan the introduction for your compare/contrast essay. • Start by writing your essay’s thesis—the most important sentence in your entire essay (even though this is the last sentence in your introduction paragraph, you need to write it first!). • Then, backtrack to write the hook of your essay (the attention-grabber). • Next, explain how your attention-grabber connects to the two works that you are comparing/contrasting. • End by writing a bridge that clearly connects your hook and thesis.

  10. INTRODUCTION FOR COMPARE/CONTRAST ESSAY In order to get started on the essay, and for me to make sure that everyone is doing what they need to be doing to be successful on the essay, you will have the rest of the period to outline ideas for your essay OR write a rough draft. (If you are confused, use this time to ask questions.  ) • Start by filling out the chart for the introduction of your essay. • Whatever isn’t finished is homework.
