Question

Can anyone give me advice on how to compare a synagogue to a place where you feel calm?
Thank you

Answer 1

List different aspects of "feeling calm."

Then list different activities (or lack of activity) that take place in a synagogue.

Compare (tell similarities) the items in your lists, and you should be ready to plan and draft your paper. Remember: DO NOT START BY WRITING THE INTRODUCTION!! Your first draft should be just the internal paragraphs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<b>DON'T start any paper's first draft by writing the introduction!</b> You cannot effectively introduce a paper that you haven't written yet.

<b>Follow the writing process</b>, whether you're writing for science, history, English, or whatever:

<u>Prewriting</u>: Brainstorm, research, plan, outline, thesis statement

<u>Writing</u>: Write first draft by starting with section II of your outline; write the introduction <b>after</b> the body of the paper is written; write the conclusion last.

<u>Polishing</u>: Revise, concentrating first on the body of the paper, then the intro, then the concl (revision = making sure ideas are logical and sequential and support your thesis); proofread (spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)

Do you have a thesis yet? Have you done your brainstorming (and maybe research) yet? Have you written an outline?
