contrast paragraph
Compose a well-developed paragraph of 5-12 sentences on the topic below, using Microsoft Word. Remember to run a spell check and a grammar check to catch and correct any errors, and proofread by reading your work aloud.
In a well-developed paragraph of 5-12 sentences, write an amusing or serious response stereotyping two types of people. Remember the essay we read and discussed in the Week 1 Discussion and use it to generate ideas. For example, you could write about one of these ideas:
- Cat people vs. dog people
- Couples who choose to be parents vs. those who do not
- Boomers vs. Millennials
- Introverts vs. extroverts
Or feel free to come up with your own topic! The paragraph should include a topic sentence that gives your opinion of the stereotype, as well as 4-10 sentences of supporting facts, opinions, and examples or evidence to explain your point of view. Conclude the paragraph with a strong ending sentence.
PLEASE NOTE:
- You may write more than one paragraph. However, if you choose to write more, you will want to be sure that each paragraph includes its own topic sentence and support.
- It is recommended that you submit your paragraph to Smarthinking for additional feedback and suggestions for improvement.
