COMPARE CONTRAST OPEN ESSAY GUIDELINES
This COMPARE CONTRAST INTERACTIVE site will help you run through the experience of writing the C/C essay in a timed setting. It's graphics instruct you what to do. Use it to formalize your study of the two poems "Facing It" and "Rice Will Grow Again." Remember to have a formal thesis statement, good topic sentences, multiple pieces of support (direct evidence from the poem along with your summative statements about the poem), and a conclusion. When you are done, you will end up with the essay in the graphic layout form. Bring it to class tomorrow.
NOTE: This interactive only allows for a four paragraph structure, so be sure the paragaphs are interpretive, persuasive, and explicate your ideas thoroughly. OR, you can add an extra paragraph within one of the body paragraph boxes.
