Compare and Contrast
This writing assignment involves writing your Comparison and Contrast essay.
TOPIC#1: The Classroom or the Web? Which method of learning is better?
**** Please don’t use Wikipedia or any.com website. I prefer reputable sources from academic institutions and other non governmental orgs. MLA style required too.
Instructions for the essay
Write an essay comparing or contrasting the two topics in your selection using EITHER the point-by-point OR the subject-by-subject method to organize the details and specific examples. Consider focusing on three to five subtopics and generate ideas through prewriting. Develop a strong thesis statement for your essay that both includes your opinion (either your preference for one topic over the other OR which topic is best for each subtopic) as well as the specific subtopics you used to compare or contrast the two topics in your body paragraphs.
