Hi everyone, I’m self-studying APWH and have a few (many?) questions on the COMP and CCOT essays.</p>
On CCOTs, it asks for what stays the same and what changed, right? Whenever I do a practice essay it goes: Intro/Thesis Paragraph, continuity paragraph, change paragraph, and then conclusion. Same for COMPs: intro, 1 similarity, 1 difference, conclusion. </p>
My question(s) is how do you format your essay? I’ve seen some on CC where the person will list various similarities, and then various differences for a COMP. Do you need multiple similarities/differences, change/continuities? If so, do you have one per paragraph and analyze/explain it? Does anyone else format these essays differently? </p>
Finally, explaining the rubric for COMP/CCOT essays would be great; whenever I see PR’s explanation of it, I’m not entirely sure whether I’ve fulfilled the requirement. </p>
I’m kind of lost in the whole essay section, so answering any of these questions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.</p>
