\n- a very brief introductory paragraph that includes the readings and authors you\u2019ve chosen from above (2-3 sentences)<\/li>\n
- one or two body paragraphs that do both<\/strong> of the following:\n
\n- a) <\/strong>show how these two readings reveal similar claims or points (you can discuss the subtle differences as well)<\/li>\n
- b) <\/strong>directly quote passages from the readings you\u2019ve chosen (include in-text citations for the quotes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- a final paragraph that very briefly summarizes what you\u2019ve found (2-3 sentences)<\/li>\n
- a works cited page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
