Need help with improving writing skills? Join us for tips on how to create a quality essay. I will teach strategies that will organize thoughts and turn those ideas into a well thought out compare/contrast essay.

This two-week course will be engaging and helpful for any learner who would like to improve their writing skills and boost their confidence in public speaking.

My lesson will begin by using a Venn diagram to show how to compare and contrast two simple items. While doing this, I will ask questions and use their ideas to fill in the diagram. Next, I will give them a scenario in which they may be asked to write an essay, comparing two locations. I will give them an example of my brainstorm writing and ask question to check understanding. Homework: they will complete a couple graphic organizers and prompts to help them brainstorm ideas for writing.

Compare & Contrast Brainstorm Ideas

The learners will share their brainstorm ideas. Then, I will explain how to use transitions when writing. We will review texts with transitions and text without transitions and discuss why the text with transitions is easier for the reader to follow. I will show them visual aids that give examples of when they would use transitions for a compare and contrast essay and how to turn their brainstorming ideas into a rough draft. Homework: Write a rough draft.

Transitions & Rough Draft

I will give them editing strategies they should use when they edit their rough drafts. I will show them examples are writing that could be improved using these strategies. Homework: Revise and edit rough drafts and practice presenting final copies.

Editing Strategies & Final Draft

Each learner will present and read their essay to the group.
