***On Friday you will be writing two body paragraphs for an essay on plagiarism using the rhetorical style of comparison and contrast in class. Although you may not write the paragraphs in advance, you may use your notes and articles from this unit. You should try to use 2 documented sources in your writing.***

Instructions: To prepare for the in-class writing, you will be working in small groups. In your group, you should first brainstorm about the topic of plagiarism, focusing on ways that you might write a comparison/contrast essay. For example, you might compare and contrast what you knew about plagiarism before this unit began and what you know now. Next, come up with several possible topic sentences. Then, if you have time, list the supporting details that you might wish to include in your paragraph.
