<\/a>Step 1: Choose a Topic<\/span><\/h4>\n

Begin by choosing a topic for your comparison\/contrast essay. You are free to select your own topic, or you may use one of the sample topics listed below. However, you should choose a topic that you have some personal knowledge of so that you have sufficient points of comparison or contrast to discuss in your essay. Avoid choosing subjects that require extensive outside research that require citation (you will learn how to properly cite in a later unit). Consider subjects and points that fall under \u201ccommon knowledge\u201d: information that the average educated reader would accept without needing a source citation to back it up.<\/p>\n

You will need to compare or contrast two or three primary points about the two subjects you choose to write about, resulting in an essay with either four or six body paragraphs, an introductory paragraph, and a conclusion. The writing for this assignment should be informative and objective, avoiding the first-person voice or any personal details that may inform bias or personal opinion.<\/p>\n
