Selecting a Topic and Brainstorming Worksheet
Complete the following and post as an attachment.
List two objects, people, subjects, or concepts you are going to compare and/or contrast. The two places that I am interested in comparing and contrasting are McDonalds and Subways.
What are the similarities between the two objects, people, subjects, or concepts? List as many similarities as you can.
Some similarities that these two places have are: internationally known, fast-food, and both are franchise.
What are the differences between the two objects, people, subjects, or concepts? List as many differences as you can.
Some of the differences that these two places have are: cooking methods, prices, portion control, quality of food, and their menus.
Are you going to focus on similarities, differences, or both? Explain your rationale. Based on the topic that I have chosen and the purpose of my paper, I am going to focus on both the similarities and the differences that they have to offer.
What do you want your readers to learn and understand after reading your essay? What is the purpose of your essay? The purpose of this essay is to promote healthier food choices, as well as educate the readers to help those who are unaware of ways to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
What three or four parallel points of comparison and/or contrast will you address in your essay? For example, if you were going to compare and contrast two teachers, your parallel points might be each teacher’s homework policy, classroom conduct policy, and demeanor. The parallel points that I will be addressing to show the contrast between McDonalds and Subways are: menus, cooking methods, and heath issues.
Explain why this is an appropriate and workable topic selection for the final assignment. I believe this is an appropriate topic selection for my final paper because it will demonstrate and promote a healthier lifestyle choice for those readers who are unaware of the unhealthy fast-food restaurants are creating.
