ESSAY BY COMPARISON or CONTRAST (you compare SIMILARITIES, you contrast DIFFERENCES). Whether you include a balance between/among similarities or differences >>> this should be present in the thesis statement (be careful with LINKERS). The similarities and/or differences can be in EVERY body paragraph, OR you may include (for example): - Similarities in body paragraphs 1 & 2 - Differences in body paragraph 3. Title: NOUN PHRASE that summarises contents ("Refugees", "Migrants in Europe" and the like, DO NOT seem appropriate titles!) Paragr 1: INTODUCTORY PARAGRAPH (last sentence: THESIS STATEMENT) Paragr 2: TOPIC SENTENCE 1 (related to Thesis statement) + supporting material. Paragr 3: TOPIC SENTENCE 2 (related to Thesis statement) + supporting material. Paragr 4: TOPIC SENTENCE 3 (related to Thesis statement) + supporting material. Paragr 5: CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH (TS 1, 2 & 3 >>> NO Topic sentence!!)
