Comparison Papers in English 1

In English I classrooms, students are writing a comparison paper about act III of “Romeo and Juliet”. Students have to read the play and watch the two different versions of the movie. After they completed those tasks, they received a graphic organizer which they had to fill out.
“It was pretty helpful, but you had to fill it out thoroughly because otherwise there were no benefits,” said freshman Sydney Milani.
Once the students had the graphic organizer filled out, they were then given an outline sheet. English I teachers gave it to students to make writing their papers an easier task. 
“I think it was very helpful because I looked back at it a lot while I was writing my paper and if I wouldn’t have had it, I wouldn’t have been able to write my paper,” said Milani.
After filling out the graphic organizer and the outline, students were assigned to write their rough draft. After they finished their rough draft, they were told to proof read it over and over until there were no mistakes.
Finally students were given lab time to type their final paper, and make any last changes. Overall the paper is worth 35 assessment points.
