Writing a Compare-and-Contrast Essay about Presentation of Ideas — Quiz

Question 5 • English Language Arts 9

Will is writing a comparative essay about two texts. He would like to write about three different topics, comparing the texts throughout the essay. Which organizational style would work best for Will?

Answer
A
chronological
B
point-by-point
C
blocking
D
historical

Explanation

Point-by-point organization works best when Will wants to compare the texts across several topics. He can discuss the first topic in both texts, then the second topic in both, and then the third, keeping the comparison going throughout. Blocking would discuss one text first and the other afterward, rather than comparing them topic by topic.
