CHECKLIST FOR WRITING AND REVISING YOUR COMPARISON-CONTRAST PAPER Have I used prewriting to explore ideas for a subject? Have I carefully thought about my purpose? Have I written for the usual general audience? If I am writing for a specific audience, have I made that clear to the reader? Have I limited my subject? Have I established a clear thesis? Do I have enough support for my thesis? Have I compared and contrasted according to a single purpose? Have I been fair with the comparisons and contrasts? Have I followed an established pattern of organization? Have I proofread for grammar, spelling, and mechanics? * Remember: No first-person pronouns No second-person pronouns No contractions Always use present tense when writing about literature GOOD LUCK!
