Essay #2: Writing an Informative (and Surprising) Essay
So far you have written an essay that is theme-based: the open form narrative. For your next assignment you will be writing a thesis-driven informative essay with a “Surprising Reversal.”
You are going to write an essay where you will be seeking to surprise your audience with often overlooked and interesting information about a topic that interests you. You will accomplish this by showing how commonly held beliefs about this subject are incomplete, insufficient, or false. Topic selection is important for this assignment, so select a topic that you think may contain surprising and/or often overlooked aspects. Whatever you choose, however, must be something you are personally involved with, and this must be referred to in the essay. You cannot simply go on the Internet and ‘find something.’
In order to support your ideas, you may use examples, personal experiences, others’ experiences, comments made in in formal interviews, facts and statistics. Patterns of development such as comparison and contrast, cause and effect, classification, process, definition, etc. may be used to develop your points. 
Length You should write between 4-6 pages, double-spaced, for this assignment.
Your audience: students and faculty with a mistaken or overly narrow view of something because they lack the information that you can provide.
Your intentions: discuss commonly held misconceptions about a practice or place and then present your audience with new information that might surprise them.
When evaluating the essay, I will consider the following:
•        Does the essay hook and surprise the reader?
•        Does the essay focus on expanding readers’ knowledge by emphasizing facts?
•        Does it provide evidence of the common view effectively in your essay?
•        As a writer, do you come across as fair and reasonable, with an appropriate tone?
•        Does the essay conform to MLA standards?
•        Is the essay well written, grammatically and structurally?
•        Does it show evidence of an effective writing process?
•        Format MLA, font size 12

Write a 3-4 page (approximately 700-1000 words) comparison/contrast essay in the informative mode. In addition, you must answer the ″Think About Your Writing″ questions, described below, beneath your essay.

The following are some ideas that can help you to select a topic for your essay:

Compare or contrast two historical figures
Compare or contrast two artists (e.g. two painters or two photographers)
Compare or contrast two television series
Compare or contrast two types of technologies (for example, two smartphone brands or two gaming consoles)
The following questions also have to be answered at the end
Below your completed comparison/contrast essay, include answers to all of the following reflection questions:
Did you use the point-by-point or block method to organize your body paragraphs? What made you decide to organize your essay in this way (3-4 sentences)? Sophia says: Consider the ways a comparison/contrast essay can be organized. Which organization did you choose and why?
In what ways did writing a comparison/contrast essay differ from the Narrative essay you wrote in Touchstone 1? Give specific examples (3-4 sentences). Sophia says: Consider how the structure, point of view, and purpose of the two essays differ.
Remember that the writing process is a recursive process, and your first draft of an essay is rarely your last. What part of the draft did you struggle with (3-4 sentences)? Sophia says: Think about how you could improve the draft if you continued the writing process with revision and editing.
