WA section 49-51

Section 49: talks about Comparing and Contrasting in a paragraph.

• Compare is when you compare two things, explaining how they are alike whether they are two people, even two pieces of equipment.
• Contrast is when you take two things and explain how they are different.

Comparison /contrast paper can be structured in three ways:

1. subject by subject
2. point by point
3. combination of methods 1 & 2

*We do this when we read our essays by comparing and contrasts authors.

Sections 50: talks about Cause and/or Effect.

Cause = why / Effect=how which can be approached in several ways:

1. Discuss one cause and then describe one, two or more effects.
2. Begin with several causes and work to one or more effects.
3. Begin with one effect and discuss one or more causes.
4. Begin with several effects and then explain one or more causes.

Make sure you follow these guidelines:

• Make sure that oyu give enough information
• Explain your ideas clearly
• Deal with one concept or idea at a time and give reason for each.
• An Essay that contains Causes and Effect should be done is seperate paragraphs with facts, statistics, examples , details

Section 51: Talks about Argument to express one point of view and the other person to be able to express their point of view. This then turns the Argument into logical means proving opinions, using facts, examples, statistics, expert testimony.

• A good topic must argue not fact
• Statement must be to the point, clear
• Thesis sentence must be presented as a statement not question
• Give supportive evidence
• Give firm convictions on the subject
