Writing a Compare/Contrast Essay
All you need do in writing a compare and contrast essay is take two subjects and show their similarities and their differences.
When writing a compare and contrast essay, the basic essay form of title, introduction, three paragraph body, and conclusion makes it one of the easiest essays to write.
![Page 3: The search for early Americans](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051317/56816708550346895ddb703a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Writing a Compare/Contrast Essay
Before you begin writing, brainstorm to find similarities and differences between your subjects.
ExampleApples and
Oranges
![Page 4: The search for early Americans](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051317/56816708550346895ddb703a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Writing a Compare/Contrast EssaySubject Similarities Differences
Both are tree fruits, grown commercially in large orchards
Oranges tropical, apples temperate
Apples and Oranges Apple juice and orange juice
Apple juice has no pulp. Orange juice has pulp.
Sauce Pulp and peeling from oranges is used in sauce. Applesauce contains only the pulp of the pared apple.
![Page 5: The search for early Americans](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051317/56816708550346895ddb703a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Use your essay introduction to introduce both subjects and present the points you intend to make.
Ex: Although apples and oranges are both
fruits, they each ripe with differences, some of which are shown in the way they are grown and processed.
![Page 6: The search for early Americans](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051317/56816708550346895ddb703a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1. You can compare and contrast different elements of each subject in each paragraph of your essay body.
This is also called “point by point” comparison and contrast.
![Page 7: The search for early Americans](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051317/56816708550346895ddb703a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“point by point” comparison and contrast essay
Example 1: (Compare) Apples and oranges are both tree fruits often grown
commercially in large orchards. (Contrast) However, apples grow in every climate and oranges need tropical temperatures to produce fruit.
(compare) Although both fruits can be juiced, (contrast) apples are pressed and only the juice is bottled while both pulp and juice is squeezed from oranges.
(Compare) Again, while fruit sauce is made from both apples and oranges, usually applesauce comes from the pared and pureed apple (contrast) while orange sauce may contain both the rind and the pulp of the orange.

Cue WordsAnother technique in
writing the compare and contrast essay is to use cue words.
Cue words are clues to whether you are comparing your subjects or contrasting them
These words make it easier for your reader to understand your points.
Cue WordsSimilarities (compare)
Differences(contrast)
•is similar to •on the other hand
•both •however•also •but•too •although•as well •unlike•like •while

Like in any essay, finish your essay by summarizing the points you made in the body.
Ex: Although each is a commercially grown tree fruit, growing temperatures and differences in processing apples and oranges clearly makes a distinction between the two fruits.
Appropriate use of transitions and cue words help make your essay conclusion easy to summarize.

Write a compare/contrast essay about two ancient civilization you learned about in The Search for Early Americans.
Use your Venn diagram to help you plan your compare-contrast essay.
In the outside portion of each circle (where the two do not overlap) write how each subject is different.
In the section where the two subjects overlap, list the characteristics that the two subjects share.
![Page 11: The search for early Americans](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051317/56816708550346895ddb703a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

After completing your Venn diagram use the information you used to write your compare-contrast essay.
You can get with your partners and work together. Pick one person a have him or her visit other groups to get compare and add additional information.
I will walk around the room and check your progress.
Remember to use classroom voices.
