This document can be used as a series of in-class activities or as a guide/worksheet for students when preparing for comparison-contrast analysis. Here's what's so invaluable about it: I've come up with a method to teach students how to construct their theses, and subsequently organize their response, by theme/idea, which is often difficult to express to students (especially more simplistic organizing devices are so easy and familiar to them.). This doc. is especially helpful for comparative literature assessments.
