| I've been trying to make my own guides with notes, but I feel as if I've procrastinated on that for so long because I find it overwhelming. ;~; |

Thesis should be only 2 or 3 sentences
The only thing you should say in one sentence, how some compare, and the other, how they contrast
You should always start the thesis as
"While ______ was important (usually use important for asking if theres an impact), to _________ of the/their/they (topic), both __________ were/are (similarites), while ___________ (contrast statement)."
Thats how my thesis always was and many use that as well.
Keep in mind you're comparing but you still have to *****analyze******
Paragraph 2
This is the paragraph where you analyze* one topic and one subject**
You're explaining how that one subject is agreeing/disagreeing to the topic, and explaining what they do and then why. The last sentence should be the full analysis that sums up what you wrote, and write the main idea of that paragraph.
Paragraph 3
It should be the same as Paragraph 2, but you should be analyze both subjects that compare, saying what they are and how they work, and then the last sentence should say how theyre the same
Parapgraph 4
Basically 3, but contrast.
Paragraph 5
Rephrase your thesis, but also include upper facts, such as which one stood out more, or did the most differently, you could even put your opinion in there on something if its completely logical (Not highly recommended but still)
I usually read the prompt quick then made a 4x4 box like a punnett square
then I thought of the similarities and differences and placed them where it made sense
you could also just make a quick list on something you know strongly of about it
not being biased but i usally got 5's and 6's on the essays but that was because I wrote a ton of them for practice at home
This website helps a lot too, I remember reading it all the time
