II. Teaching Contents Part 1 1. Comparison and contrast 2. There are two major ways of organizing paragraphs of comparison and contrast. One way is to examine one thing thoroughly and then examine the other. This method is called block (or item-by-item) comparison or block (or item-by-item) contrast. Using the method, the aspects examined in the two things should be identical and in the same order. The other way is to examine two things at the same time, discussing them point by point. This method is called alternating (or point-by-point) comparison or alternating (or point-by-point) contrast. Use either one of these two patterns when writing a contrast or a comparison paragraph: 1. Present all the information about A and then provide parallel information about B. First all A: Point 1 Point 2 Point 3 Then all B; Point 1 Point 2 Point 3 2. Move back and forth between A and B. Present one point about A and then go to the parallel point about B. Then move to the next point and do the same: Point 1: First all A; then all B Point 2 First all A; then all B
