DEFINITION OF
COMPARE-AND-
CONTRAST ESSAY
It is a style of essay that
pinpoints the similarities and
differences between two or
more subjects.
 PURPOSE OF WRITING A
COMPARE-AND-CONTRAST
ESSAY
The purpose of writing a comparison or
contrast essay is not to state the obvious
but rather to illuminate subtle differences or
unexpected similarities between two
subjects.
HOW TO WRITE A
COMPARE-AND-
CONTRAST ESSAY

The first thing that needs to be done is to choose a

subject to compare and list down their similarities
and differences. Using a Venn diagram can also
help to gather the similarities and differences of
the subject, and it can also can help to compose
an essay easier.

HOW TO STRUCTURE A
COMPARE-AND-CONTRAST
ESSAY
The hardest part of structuring
a compare-and-contrast essay
is knowing when to talk about
which subject. Essentially, you
have three options:
1.Block Method(Subject by subject):You
discuss one subject in full and then
move on to the next subject.
2.Alternating Method(Point by
point):You discuss one subject's take on
a certain aspect and then another
subject's take immediately afterward,
followed by a new aspect.
3.Similarities and differences:
You discuss all the similarities between
your subjects and then all the
differences, or vice versa( differences
first and then similarities)

 AMONG THE THREE STRUCTURES, THE
ALTERNATING METHOD (POINT BY
POINT) IS MOSTLY RECOMMENDED TO
BE USED IN THIS STYLE OF THE ESSAY
BECAUSE IT CAN PINPOINT THE
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
EASIER. WHY? BECAUSE EVERY

 High School vs. College
Many people believe college is just a continuation of high
school. However, the two have distinct differences that can't be
ignored when you walk onto a college campus. And, it isn't just
that newfound freedom. Examine the similarities and
differences of college vs.high school by looking at the structure,
teaching style, and grading.
In high school, the structure is easy to see. Most students have
followed it for at least the last 8 years leading up to high school.
Students spend about 6 hoursa day or 30 hours a week learning
various subjects in structured time increments. To make sure
everyone attends, buses usher them to school.
Additionally, teachers use a lecture style with textbooks and
notes on a chalkboard. Students ask questions during lectures
and take notes. Most of the time, the lecture follows the textbook.
 Furthermore, usingthe textbooks and standardized rubrics from the state,
high school students receive grades based on what they comprehend of the
material. Teachers use homework, test, and quizzes to assess their ability.
And students receive additional or extra credit to help raise their grade.
While college does have a structure, it's very different from the high school
example. Students follow a schedule, but it is a schedule of their own
choosing. Rather than 6 hours a day in class, full-time college students
spend 12 to 18 hours per week attending classes. The school year follows a
semester or quarter system that covers fall, winter, spring, and summer.
In addition, when it comes to teaching styles, college professors aren't going
to go by the book. While books supplement learning, their lectures are full of
interactive materials, illustrations, personal experience, and their own
expertise in the subject. Rather than giving all the information, teachers
expect students to find it on their own through research assignments and
homework. And if students have questions, it's their responsibility to seek
teachers out.
 Lastly, professors expect students to apply their
knowledge, so when it comes to grading it is more
based on a student's ability to apply this knowledge to
unique situations. And, tests can make or break grades.
Some professors test this knowledge only a few times
through semester tests. Failing a test could mean
failing the course.
High school and college are both institutions of
higher education using classes and grade structures.
However, that is where the similarities end. The
structure, teaching methods, and grading styles are
completely different between these two institutions.
