Let's remember what a comparison/contrast paragraph is about!

In order to write a comparison/contrast paragraph, you need one point of similarity or contrast.

A Venn diagram is a pre-writing technique that allows you to list similarities and differences in a T-shaped chart.

In a successful comparison/contrast paragraph, we need to compare the same items for each idea.

In the same paragraph, we can do both compare and contrast.

The point-by-point pattern is an organization method in which we take one point of comparison at a time and explain how the elements we are comparing or contrasting are similar or different with respect to that point of comparison.

A comparison/contrast paragraph should only list similarities or differences.
