*Determine the characteristics/elements on which you will focus in your own essay. Some options might include tone (one source takes an informal or comedic approach to a topic, while another is serious), thesis (the two sources have contrasting arguments on the topic), evidence (the two sources have the same thesis, but one uses statistics and the other anecdotes), and organization (one source considers counterarguments and refutes them, while another ignores them completely). Your sources may agree that an issue is a problem in society, but advocate different ways of solving itor perhaps they completely disagree about the issue in the first place.
You also have choice in how to structure your own essay. Your thesis may simply point out the similarities/differences between the two sources, or you may decide to argue that one source is more effective/reliable/convincing/etc. than the other.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must use at least three in-line quotations from EACH source and at least one block quotation in your essay, correctly formatted
