I can develop my comparative essay writing skills whilst writing about poems from the Power and Conflict anthology.

Show transcript
Topic sentences must be comparative when comparing texts. Comparisons should be made between ideas, intentions, themes, and messages. Correlative and comparative conjunctions are a good way to signpost your comparative writing. Within paragraphs, evidence can move back and forth between the two poems and be linked with connectives. Drawing a direct comparison of quotations should take place at least once across the essay.
