Compare and contrast essay
- What is the tentative title of your essay? The Ideal Work Environment
- What are you comparing and contrasting? Working from home versus working from the office
- Is the primary purpose of your essay evaluative or informative? I believe the purpose behind my essay will be evaluative. I think we all know what people with remote jobs or office jobs do, I will mostly be comparing what research says about it.
- Are you planning to use the block pattern or the point-by-point pattern? Explain the reasoning behind your choice. Although I am still not sure I think this essay will have a better flow by using the block pattern.
- What criteria will you be using? (Name at least three.) This one is hard to answer but for now, I am planning on using Productivity, Lifestyle, Expenses/ Income
Example of Blockpattern
These are the details I have worked out about the essay I have to complete by next sunday. Compare/contrast essays are typically formatted in either a block pattern or a point-by-point pattern. For the sake of example, let’s pretend we are writing a compare/contrast essay about two toasters—a very dull topic! Here is how the essay might be organized in the block pattern.
Super Toaster
A. Features
B. Convenience
C. Reliability
Toaster Max
A. Features
B. Convenience
C. Reliability
Summary Analysis and Recommendation (Which toaster is better?)
The topic I chose was: Working from home versus working from the office.
I was planning on comparing these main points: Productivity, Lifestyle, Expenses/ Income between both
