Although they begin with some digressions, they aim to revisit and compare specific elements related to a contract.
03:00 - 13:00: Comparison and Contrast Essay Discussion The chapter "Comparison and Contrast Essay Discussion" emphasizes the organizational strategies involved in writing effective comparison and contrast essays. The instructor refers to a poem titled 'Winners and Losers' and a text 'Strategies for Success' to illustrate the differences and similarities in various contexts, aiming to guide students towards successful outcomes. It highlights the importance of examining both the similarities and differences in topics being discussed. The instructor also discusses the construction of a "comparison and contrast organization statement brainstorm sheet," which is a tool designed to aid students in outlining their thoughts and ideas clearly when approaching comparison and contrast writing assignments. Preparing for class discussion, the teacher indicates that the material will be reviewed in detail during the class session, encouraging students to familiarize themselves with the content to participate actively.
13:00 - 17:00: Process Analysis Essay Wrap-Up The chapter focused on wrapping up the process analysis essay. It discussed how some students have done well with their topics, as indicated by the paper report sheets sent out. An example was provided for a comparison and contrast essay using a filled-out report sheet. The chapter also mentioned sending out an outline with audience and position details from an actual student paper, along with the topics.
17:00 - 25:00: Key Concepts and Objectives for Comparison and Contrast The chapter titled 'Key Concepts and Objectives for Comparison and Contrast' focuses on laying the foundational understanding necessary for effectively comparing and contrasting themes. Despite the brevity of recent assignments, this approach is intentional to ensure strong comprehension and performance in future tasks. The recurring use of a 'theme organization worksheet' is highlighted as a tool to aid in this process.

33:30 - 39:00: Gratitude and Closing Remarks In the closing remarks of this chapter, the speaker discusses the importance of understanding key concepts to enhance the quality of one's writing. They compare the role of a nurse in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' to emphasize the significance of clarity in communication.

03:00 - 03:30 and I'll keep saying that um post-writing exercise for comparison and contrast you know you're either going to deal with two things that are alike point out the similarities or two things that are different and point out the differences most two things are different um so did you select items that are alike or different and why you know this is also thinking this is what this is thinking material you know and the idea is not original to me the
03:30 - 04:00 questions are but the idea is not because I I got this idea at a conference um this is what they were doing at the time at NYU you know um and I brought it to hack what was your main purpose and I don't know if I mentioned that the uh gentleman that became uh that was elected to be auditor general was a hack student you know later went on get his got his Masters uh

04:30 - 05:00 well anyway which paragraph is the best one of your paper and why you know they're all good we're going to work assume they're all good but which one is the best one you know choose one and explain that makes you focus on details and did you get the reader attention because you know people are still struggling with attention getters uh in that introductory paragraph and what device did you use was being asked there so and there was one other thing I
05:00 - 05:30 sent and then I'm into my PowerPoint which I have done some updates actually believe it or not Mark Twain's I think it's a page or two yeah two pages Mark Twain two full Pages um two ways of sing a river it's classic by the famous Mark Twain of Samuel Clemens it's a classic please read as soon as you get paper number
05:30 - 06:00 four done and in the Dropbox so you might not get to it till next week but I wouldn't wait that long to read two pages I really wouldn't you know um you know sometimes you get college courses where you have way more than just two pages to look at sometimes you have a whole book of several hundred Pages well this is where I want to begin this is essentially my wrapup I only
06:00 - 06:30 had um let see this is where I left off at Nikki Giovani and we shared um some of her advice um actually um campus racism one1 how to be a successful student is what is what this is about this is what I lifted out of that classic essay that she published not only in your textbook but in her own book you know as poet as in your faith po poet tell it like it is poet you know
06:30 - 07:00 um and writer and uh Professor distinguished Professor um and everything that is on here on this slide and in that uh that essay which I hope you read it's in subject strategy and the pages are listed on the uh to-do plan been there for weeks um I hope you practice this because my mother mentioned some of the very same things
07:00 - 07:30 things that uh Professor Giovani was mentioning to her to her audience uh uh this is how you um rise you know by being the best you you can be you know but if you're not doing those things you can't expect well you can't expect it but you'll probably be disappointed in how things will turn out this is a little teen little process here a little sleep a little slumber a little folding of the
07:30 - 08:00 hands to rest and poverty will come upon you like a robber and want like an armed man that that comes from Proverbs actually that was written by very very wise individual by the name of Solomon who was King and very wealthy in his day you know um because some people don't do much you know uh and uh well it's hard to earn a living doing nothing
08:00 - 08:30 it's really hard you know sometimes hard to earn a living when you're working at it then I added this this morning it just struck me since I had already mentioned this earlier you know uh about some of the things you can do to improve your mental and emotional and physical health you know we mentioned and Grace remember and Grace and some of the things she said boom there they are again
08:30 - 09:00 and where did that come from Harvard Medical School you know and Grace was probably a strong woman of Faith but this is Harvard you know doctors and and and Scholars who well may not be into all that you know I don't know what they're into they I don't have the names but it's since this is the time to consider being grateful and there are plenty of things to be grateful for I tell myself on a daily basis and this is process again and
09:00 - 09:30 that's what I'll wrap up before I look at the study guy write a thank you note or at least than someone mentally you know it says this is Harvard and they found that there are health benefits keep a gratitude Journal didn't we say that Dr Martin EP Selman you don't know where he was from because I didn't say I don't think I said University of Pennsylvania you know one of the great IV league universities in this country

10:30 - 11:00 you have it on one sheet you know which I hope you hav it uh I can't remember when I sent it but um well when I sent all the process material you know my suggestion was that you put all your oneon-one material together and label it and put it in a folder and call a process so when you click on the words process in your after you click on your folder boom there's everything is there everything will
11:00 - 11:30 be easier said than done I know know how to define you do this on your own Look up the word process and I still invite you to take notes look at the word Journal you know because I want you to be able to find it because there's a multiple choice question on it personal writing now I helped you out with the word thesis it is the main point and I've helped you out with the concept plan of development three points to be discussed know the different purposes of process did last week
11:30 - 12:00 provide directions and give information if you know this then when you see the multiple choice question you'll be able to get it you know and I even uh uh encourage you if you got a printer print it out you know because it might be easier to review easier to study and you can mark it up if you don't have a printer and a lot of people don't I think it's worthy of the investment it's the ink that's expensive not so much to printer itself but then you got to hook it up but anyway um you can still put on the on the screen and you can copy things on a

17:30 - 18:00 anyway know the know that three points are discussed in five paragraph ASA you'll be asked everything that's on here is on that multiple choice quiz which a lot of people Ace especially if they prepare know the features of a concluding paragraph um way back to paper number three restatement of thesis plan of development restatement signals the close of the essay Clincher you know I gave it all to you there know the feature of the introductory
18:00 - 18:30 introduction paragraph and this is what I'm still waiting to get from some papers attention getter plan of development uh signals the close oh no my my sorry I don't why my thing did that oops oops attention getter thesis and plan of development know that the essay pattern is used in college writing business writing technical writing and magazine writing then I list to the authors you know and uh and the list and the titles are all
18:30 - 19:00 listed in the syllabus just a little hint there well the point is I want you to to get it that's the whole idea you know I don't believe in mystery teaching you know some people do guess what I'm what I want I tell you and I put it in writing you know and then it's up to you to deal now this is how I uh correct papers and this is the process I'm in really right now you know with Pap number number three
19:00 - 19:30 um which you may not know and and you may not even want to know is that it takes me hours to prepare the do the to-do plan and send it out to five classes you know hours you know whereas before I would just scribbled on the board in minutes so you know a few things I wouldn't have to do everything or be as well if you're going to type something up you may as well be detailed and so so I have been to help as my main
19:30 - 20:00 objective I look at the titles you know this is what I would do in the face to-face environment but I sort of do this in a remote environment I've modified it somewhat I look for length you know see how long it is well it tells me in this environment it tells me at the top of the page how many pages it is you know I don't have to you know count Pages or anything like that I look for neatness nine times out of 10 they're already neat you know um so that's not a big deal you
20:00 - 20:30 know um and I'm I'm sorting in a sense because I always like to read the best papers first you know it puts me in a good mood for the papers that tend to not be as good as the other sometimes I get a surprise I love surprises um but that's what I tend to do you know rather than read something that's oh my you know um it kind of thers me on all the rest so I I don't allow that to happen because I want to
20:30 - 21:00 be give the best Advantage the highest grade that you have earned that I can give so I look for neatness look for at a thesis you know see if it's underline I look to see if there's a plan development I want to underline I look to see if there's an outline you know sometimes I look at that first post-writing exercise now I didn't mention organization sheet I should probably type that in there because I always for that and I don't have that there let me be
21:00 - 21:30 let's see [Music] organization sheet I want leave that in there because I'm planning on if we ever go to the classroom again I'm planning on using these PowerPoint slides all the work I put in these bad boys shoot instead of just looking at the overhead transparencies which don't have as much going as these do uh audience and position I look for that too um need a
21:30 - 22:00 comma there um then I look at the content and the grammar you know I read it uh twice I go through twice you know and sometimes I give a few more points on the second review you know because I think it deserves that or if I don't you know I don't do that uh then the comments sometimes it get a
22:00 - 22:30 little extensive when I'm typing away my fingers just keep going even though they start hurting after a while I said do I need to say all this but some of my students are actually getting better so I say all what I say in that little box there that I want you to read let you know where the strengths were where the weaknesses are and then I return the papers to you to study the errors you know you scroll over the little red things and see what I'm saying because I'm making Corrections that way or I'm saying good you know if it's out in the margin I'm usually praising not always
22:30 - 23:00 but usually praising uh if it's above something that means I'm correcting or I might be praising too like good point I'll say if it is a good point in my professional opinion um and so you don't want to repeat there if I'm complaining about run-ons you want to go to war with them now what I want to do now I want to keep I want to start moving um to [Music] um I'm like that how to write a
23:00 - 23:30 successful that's what that's supposed to say essay comparison and contrast now I'm going to lay a foundation because I don't want to get too far ahead of myself but I surely don't want to fall too far behind but I'm starting out with a story a story about four people I think it's a very important story it's not quite comparison and contrast yet but I'm on my way this is a story about four people named
23:30 - 24:00 everybody somebody anybody and nobody there was an important job to be done and everybody was sure that somebody would do it anybody could have done it but nobody did it somebody got angry about that because it was everybody's job everybody thought anybody could do it but nobody realized that everybody wouldn't do it it end up set up that everybody blamed
24:00 - 24:30 somebody when nobody did what anybody could have done this is how things don't get done this is how presidential candidates that you might not have wanted to get into office get into office because people say stay home they didn't do that recently you know they come out room you know because they realized finally what could happen you know um when um people don't step up
24:30 - 25:00 to the plate you know now the story may be confusing but the message is clear no one took responsibility so nothing got accomplished and that's what happens far too often no matter whether it's the classroom or the voting booth or the workplace even in families you know a breakdown you know so a student gave me
25:00 - 25:30 that years ago you know those words there um and it's so very true now moving on dealing with comparison and contrast this is just giving you the idea here you know because I um don't want to get confused because I'm through a process and I've moved on tock paper number five you should still be working
25:30 - 26:00 on number four and finish it up into the Dropbox Twix the Optimus Twix Optimist and pessimist the difference is droll The Optimist ISS that down not the pessimist sees the whole I should put this on the screen I like this B um you know Optimist and
26:00 - 26:30 pessimist my encouragement is that being an optimist because there are many more health benefits than being a pessimist even though we need the pessimist because they point out where the problems lie for The Optimist to go solve them T Optimist and pessimist the difference is Dr The Optimist sees the downn not the pessimist sees the whole then the Winston Churchill quote then I'm going to look at topics you
26:30 - 27:00 know I want to go over some topics that you can consider for paper number five maybe you'll get an idea immediately write it down when you do and come back to it you please don't forget I've done this course in six weeks every bit of it and every paper did come in we're both teacher and student going nuts but it gets done and they sometimes are the best students I get you know well I want you to do as

27:30 - 28:00 person I forget I think I did it even though it may seem a little premature to do so right now but um that there it is and I did send this to you like yesterday but I always invite you to take notes because you might say oh that Topic's mine you can write on two very different boss now in this paper five paragraph

34:30 - 35:00 can't show you but it deals with life uh before drugs and after see here's what I'll be showing in the classroom I couldn't find this online I don't know if you can even see it but you can see um the woman before and after you know and the gentleman before and after their lives were ruined by drugs uh and um it was I cut it out of the Patriot news years ago
35:00 - 35:30 um Bradford County a county you probably um haven't even heard of is Pennsylvania's own meth Valley you know methamphetamines is what they were dealing with and ruining their lives with um but anyway um ryes with Death Valley you know it very clever title now those are the key Concepts I did have one more thing I got time to squeeze it on in here it deals
35:30 - 36:00 with I if I can get it out of my notebook yeah I have a notebook I work from and I put things on um in PowerPoint those that I can and you see two young men um where there is um one young man uh the healthy looking one water is clean and the other one that you can hardly see it not so healthy diseased water and that's what a
36:00 - 36:30 lot of people have to drink uh uh those that have to drink dirty water on this planet they must walk four miles to even get it only to find Cesspool soup you know they're drink the children are drinking filthy polluted disease causing water children filtered in from every direction as we stood by no I wasn't there but this is what the piece says
36:30 - 37:00 stood by the swampy water hole I wonder how thirsty I would have to be to drink the cessful soup now you know you cannot survive without water not long you know and so they go ahead and drink it and get sick and sometimes die you know however this is before versus after when the water pump was dug in and and and clean water found because there is clean water it can be found um and this young
37:00 - 37:30 lady wrote a letter so you don't have to worry about these things I hope I would like to thank you she writes for the work you have done at my school years ago we were using a rope and a bucket to gather water from a hole which was very cumbersome now we are very happy we filled as kings because you the organization that did this gave us a pump and saved Our Lives you know that's one of the reasons to be
37:30 - 38:00 grateful for and one of the reasons I might add why you get an education so that you can help to have knots because you become and maybe already are a have well let's look at the key Concepts I always have key Concepts to understand in the new unit which is comparison contrast and that paper is to come in in uh uh in a few weeks you
38:00 - 38:30 know just like we said comparison means similarities that's how I Define it contrast differences you're doing one or the other predominantly in the paper one or the other two sides that's one way of organiz in the three body paragraphs
38:30 - 39:00 you point a let's call it a wait let's let's call it 0.1 excuse me 01 and you're dealing with A and B let's say differences half on a half on b0.1 point two half on a half on B3 half on a half on B differences that's two sides organizational pattern your textbook
39:00 - 39:30 calls it subject strategy calls it the block pattern Point by point you is different and you choose whichever one you prefer uh point one AB a ab ab let's say differences point two ab ab ab ab differences you're contrasting 3 a a Ab
39:30 - 40:00 differences that's Point by point we'll illustrate that and there are examples in the booklet similarity well that word speaks for itself you're looking at how things are alike advantages and disadvantages well when you're arguing um about two automobiles let's say well if you're talking about differences you look at advantages and disadvantages you know and so will come out better be careful with that students
40:00 - 40:30 get messed up with what I'm trying to say with advantages and disadvantages sales and persuasion when you're dealing with objects you know you're trying to persuade uh that one is perhaps superior to the other because it's your preference you know and so you're doing a sales job in a sense you know so I put that term up there because it can be applied analysis that's when you're
40:30 - 41:00 analyzing two things you know because that's what you're doing with compare and contrast it's analysis Pro versus con is essentially Latin for advantages and disadvantages now there are three objectives we want you to see that there are three objectives one three of my objectives anyway is to teach you the student to write a paper that
41:00 - 41:30 will analyze information by looking at similarities or differences not both similarities or differences not similarities and differences similarities or differences one of the other not both new knowledge will be gained this is this gives you an opportunity to learn as you delve into looking at
41:30 - 42:00 closely two items whatever there might be I've already looked at some of the possibilities to teach a student to go beyond the obvious you know so we want you to to analyze and to go deep you know everyone knows that a block is different from a circle or a square is different from a circle you know an apple is different from an orange I will not accept topics like that you know and to write sophisticated
42:00 - 42:30 sentences to write better and to write more sophisticated sentences now um I have this comic here which you can't see but I insist on doing it because I think there's some wisdom in it and it lays the foundation for comparison and contest um it's a mama comic one of my favorite I have two Comics one I did find but it's the
42:30 - 43:00 followup to this particular comic her son Francis Francis has some issues um um he's a mooch that's why he has some issues Mama Francis says to his mama can you spare a couple of bucks broke again Francis Mama replies Francis You're simply not making it on your own you can't afford your rent food or
43:00 - 43:30 clothing as I see a dialing you've got two Alternatives that's comparison and contrast he needs to make a decision here are his options you take the job Mr Sweatman offered you in the heavy duty stock room at his Steamroller Factory or you move back to my house that's his other choice where all your needs and expenses will be taken care of
43:30 - 44:00 by me you know it's a classic contrast you know or comparison but I'm sure they're two different options well he doesn't respond she says you decide son which will it be he doesn't respond he says nothing and so Mama chimes in which one am I Francis the rock or the hard
44:00 - 44:30 place which one am I the rock or the hard place so I like that one because mama mama got some rules uh and uh it may be more stringent than working at that hard backbreaking job that he's only qualified to do he's not qualified to do a whole lot you
44:30 - 45:00 know but he'd rather mooch off his mama now this is how francis's mama would actually look like this is not the exact comic I found this other comic that I wanted y'all to um you know more or less look at I'm looking for something else for the moment uhoh I'm not ready look for it yet I want I want to do the
45:00 - 45:30 comic uh there we go I'm fiddling around a little bit and you see Francis didn't change this is the closest thing I could find to the comic I just shared choose between the job and mooching Francis this picking up a job here and there has got to stop she says I want you to have formal employment you know so there he is like he's all dressed up begging for
45:30 - 46:00 money but anyway little humor there let see what okay I'm not ready for that yet I'm just looking ahead see where I'm where I'm headed for what I want you to see what I want you to see oh cars two cars both 2020s you know uh the Toyota Camry and the Ford Fusion you know um both
46:00 - 46:30 midsize cars both very popular you know to the camera and the Ford Fusion now what I want to do next is go to my there's a couple things I want to look at first I don't know if I one item I don't know if I'll even get to it yet uh let's
46:30 - 47:00 see I'm looking and I can't find it bear with me a minute this the one thing I needed to put on the screen and did not so I gotta go find it in my files there it is so when I if I get to it I got it
47:00 - 47:30 okay now the next thing I want to do is get to my PDF because I'm ready to do winners and losers yeah know I'm following my you know I got a notebook here and I got all these things most of these things there so it tells me what to go to next if I pay attention to what I'm doing um h I don't want to get too far ahead of myself I'm a little somewhat ahead of
47:30 - 48:00 myself but anyway um ahead and behind at the same time folks winner losers the goal of course Miss Barnes Miss sharp Miss Morrison Miss kagna is to be a winner I want all of y'all to be what it's called winners now I got this particular item again for from a student I get some of the best things I get from from students here at profess B look
48:00 - 48:30 um and and the person was working at Domino's Pizza you and uh they want their managers to be winners the winner is always a part of the answer differences I'm just trying to get you to understand the concept you know then we apply it you know how I do I build the concept and then we apply it later after I teach you the parts like the thesis the plan of development
48:30 - 49:00 attention getter and all that then we look at a student essay which probably won't come till next week at the earliest the winner is always a part of the answer the loser is always a part of the problem the winner always has a program the loser always has an excuse that's why they can't get it done the winner always has a plan or a the winner let me do it for
49:00 - 49:30 you the loser that's not my job the winner sees an answer for every problem the loser sees a problem in every answer see how the the difference a poem I know but look at the differences um the winner and never say that's not my job people get fired for that especially when they really is there the winner sees a green near every sand
49:30 - 50:00 trap the loser sees two or three sand traps near every Green it's what you perceive more often than not the loser it may be difficult but it's possible the loser it may be possible but it's too difficult which one are you well you want to be the winner I can answer that for you but there's certain
50:00 - 50:30 things you need to doo in order for that to happen Mr Bowers Miss Levens I missed some names there okay I did die anyway guess who two presidents one from the 20th century
50:30 - 51:00 John fero Kennedy and the other one Abraham Lincoln for the 19th century you know and I wrote their names at the bottom I couldn't for some reason I couldn't get all on um keny lived from 1917 to 1963 both were assassinated tragically um and Lincoln um lived from 1809 to 1865 uh Kennedy's term was 1961 to 1963 was cut
51:00 - 51:30 short uh and Lincoln was into a second term he lived from 1861 to 1865 now what I want to try to do yeah I got some time I hope I don't talk too fast because I want to finish this um which deals with the differences between Lincoln in U no I'm not saying that right there are differences obviously you can see the differences ilarities between John fitzg Kennedy and
51:30 - 52:00 Abraham Lincoln people have been they call them coincidences but have been dealing with these two gentlemen there's a whole website that deals with Kennedy and Lincoln I'm going to share it with you now while you look at the two pictures on the screen both Lincoln and Kennedy served in New US House of Representatives
52:00 - 52:30 similarity Lincoln beginning in 1847 Kennedy 1947 well two different years but they served in the that the US House of Representatives almost a centry apart both were elected president after they had been defeated in attempts to win their party's vice presidential nomination they were defeated Lincoln in 1856 let's
52:30 - 53:00 give you the historical background Kennedy 1956 they call these coincidences but I'm looking at them as similarities Lincoln was elected president in 1860 Kennedy in 1960 both were directly involved in civil rights now Kennedy the Civil Rights Movement Lincoln the Civil War h the unfairness that people had to suffer
53:00 - 53:30 through and still are suffering through because I read an article about Civil War last evening and they were talking about how the Civil War is still being fought number four both presidents have the legality of their elections contested that's what's going on going on right now you know uh one pres the current president is contesting the election of the next
53:30 - 54:00 president of the United States I'll say it that way while in the White House both had sons who died both of them tragically lost a son while serving in the White House both had wives who were criticized for their extravagant spending spre on clothes w f uh Mary Todd Lincoln wanted to be dressed in the finer of the 19th century
54:00 - 54:30 but Lincoln really couldn't afford it um and Kennedy's wife Jacqueline Kennedy later on nasis well they could afford it but she was criticized even though she set the fashion style for the 1960s and into the 70s one could argue both similar another one um CID Lincoln suffer from hereditary diseases that were considered incurable in their
54:30 - 55:00 lifetimes Lincoln was a victim be specific aaran syndrome and inherited dysfunction of the connective tissues of the body among other effects it precipitates aortic aneurysms a leading cause of heart attacks Kennedy suffered from Addison's disease a usually fatal dysfunction of the adrenal cortex whose symptoms include a noticeable bronzing let us skin the names Lincoln and Kennedy each
55:00 - 55:30 contain seven letters another similarity Lincoln's Secretary whose name was Kennedy advised him not to go to the theater keny's secretary whose name was Lincoln advised him not to go to Dallas there's some similarities in that both presidents were slain on a Friday that's a similarity for sure and in the presence of their
55:30 - 56:00 wives both were shot from behind and in the head tragically the names John wils Booth and Lee Harvey oswal those these are the alleged assassins the names both contain 15 letters somebody counted booth and Oswald were both Southerners another similarity favoring unpopular ideas Booth sh Lincoln in a theater it
56:00 - 56:30 hid in the warehouse Kennedy shot Lincoln from a warehouse and hi in the theater both assassins were were killed before being brought to trial both of them this is in history books now Lincoln and Kandy were both carried in death on the same K on you the same the exact same
56:30 - 57:00 on Lincoln and Kennedy successors were both named Johnson Johnson that's similarity both were Southerners in fact both were Democrats Kennedy was a Democrat however Lincoln was a republican he selected a um a southern Democrat as his running made for a second term named Johnson Andrew Johnson was
57:00 - 57:30 born in 1808 Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908 and both names contain 13 letters stop my share [Music] there just want to ask you one little thing one big thing I guess uh I'd like to have someone say just to end
