Compare and-Contrast Essay Writing
The document provides an introduction to expository writing and comparison-contrast essays. It defines expository writing as writing that explains or shares information by revealing facts to a reader assumed to have no prior knowledge of the topic. It then defines a comparison-contrast essay as one that analyzes two subjects by comparing similarities, contrasting differences, or both, using factual details. Finally, it notes that transitional words and a clear structure are important to make the logical relationships between ideas in a comparison-contrast essay flow smoothly.
The Cause-Effect Essay
A cause-effect essay analyzes the causes and/or effects of something. There are four ways to organize it: cause with multiple effects, effect with multiple causes, causal chain, or multiple causes with multiple effects. When analyzing multiple causes and effects, they can be arranged by order of familiarity, interest, importance, or chronology. The introduction should contain context and state the thesis. The thesis does not need to be persuasive but should state the causes or effects that will be analyzed. The body devotes paragraphs to individual causes or effects. The conclusion restates the thesis and summarizes the discussion.
Algorithms
This document discusses algorithms and their characteristics. It defines an algorithm as a sequence of logical instructions that provides a solution to a problem. Algorithms have inputs, unambiguous instructions, and produce consistent outputs. They can be expressed through written descriptions, flowcharts, or pseudocode. Some real-life examples of algorithms are also provided.
Comparative essay
Comparative text responses require balancing analysis of individual texts with comparison of how the two texts address similar topics, themes or issues. Effective responses introduce an argument, discuss each text in depth supported by evidence, compare the texts by highlighting similarities and differences, and conclude by restating the position. Structuring can focus on discussing each text separately then comparing, integrate comparison throughout, or organize by similarity or difference. Strong responses demonstrate thorough understanding of texts and how authors construct meaning, develop logical interpretations, justify with evidence, and express ideas fluently.
Comparison & Contrast
The document discusses comparison and contrast as a writing technique. It explains that comparison shows similarities while contrast shows differences between two or more subjects. Keywords that indicate a comparison/contrast assignment include "compare and contrast" and discussions of similarities/differences. When using this technique, writers must establish a basis for comparison by selecting subjects with enough commonalities. They should then determine points of focus and develop a thesis stating the subjects and whether similarities or differences will be emphasized. The essay can be structured by discussing each subject separately or making point-by-point comparisons. Transitions are important to clearly signal similarities and differences to the reader.
Types of-informational-text
The document discusses different types of internal text structures that help readers understand and access information more easily from non-fiction texts. It identifies five main types: definition/description, which uses examples and restatements to define complex terms; problem-solution, which states an issue and suggests ways to address it; sequence/time, where changing the order of details would alter the meaning; comparison and contrast, which points out similarities and differences between topics; and cause and effect, showing relationships between causes and resulting effects. Signal words are provided for each type to help identify them.
The problem solution essay
The document discusses the problem-solution essay format. It explains that a problem-solution essay analyzes problems associated with an issue and proposes solutions. It should consist of an introductory paragraph stating the problem, multiple main body paragraphs each discussing a proposed solution and its consequences, and a concluding paragraph summarizing the main points. When writing, the author should present solutions separately, consider using rhetorical devices, make an outline, use an appropriate style, and include linking words between paragraphs.
Chapter 7
The document provides information about writing comparison/contrast essays, including their organization and use of signal words. It discusses organizing essays using a point-by-point structure with alternating paragraphs comparing two subjects. It also lists different types of comparison and contrast signal words to introduce similarities and differences between topics.
Make use presentation
1. To "make use" of a document means to actively analyze and interpret it, organizing the information for a specific purpose or point of view.
2. When analyzing a document, one should develop an "angle" or interpretation supported by direct quotes and summaries from the text.
3. Effective presentations of a document involve a clear structure like stating a thesis, providing detailed reasoning with quotes, and revisiting the thesis. The ideas should be logically linked together in a coherent manner without digression.
Paragraph Development by Analogy
The document discusses how analogies can be used to develop paragraphs. It provides three examples of paragraphs that use analogies:
1. Comparing a book to a mansion with rooms of different sizes and functions to explain how parts of a book contribute to the overall work.
2. Drawing an analogy between white blood cells and cellular defenders to explain the immune response.
3. Using building a fence as an analogy for writing an essay to explain the process of determining needs, creating a plan, gathering materials, and constructing a coherent whole.

How to get started:
Choose a story from this unit and discern all the elements of the Setting.
Decide in what three ways the setting contributes to the plot of your chosen story.
Formulate a thesis about setting and these three areas.
Mini lesson on thesis statements:
If you were writing about Star Wars, a sample thesis might read:
The setting in the Star Wars movies contributes to the desperateness of the
Resistance forces, provides a vast space for action and conflicts to occur,
focuses on how advances will affect society.
Broken down, this thesis would read:
The Setting in the Star Wars movies:
a. contributes to the desperateness of the Resistance forces (write
a supporting section with text examples)
b. provides a vast space for action and conflicts to occur, focuses
on how advances will affect society (write a supporting section
with text examples)
c. focuses on how advances will affect society (write a supporting
section with text examples)
Ask yourself, what is the setting of my story and how does it affect the plot
in the story?
For example, it is apparent that in London’s “To Build a Fire,” you would
devote a supporting section to how the weather conditions drive both the
conflict and the character’s actions.
After you have made connections to the three areas that setting affects, then
form your thesis. Here is a template for your thesis:
The Setting in author’s name and title of the story, contributes to first way
in which the setting affects the story, second way in which setting affects
the story, third way in which setting affects the story.
