Today we are finishing up our review unit on capitalization and punctuation. Next week we will begin learning about a Compare-Contrast composition. Here is a list of guidelines to remember when writing a compare-contrast composition:

• Choose two subjects you can compare and contrast easily.
• Write an engaging introduction that names your two subjects.
• Compare and contrast corresponding details for each subject.
• Select a method of organization, and stick to it from beginning to end.
• Use topic sentences to state the main idea of paragraphs.
• Use transitional words and phrases to compare and contrast.
• Write a conclusion that sums up your main ideas in a satisfying way.
