Ancient Female Rulers

STEP 2: THESIS

• Who or what you are comparing
• The dates covered for each
• 3-4 sentences on the reason for your choice

STEP 3: SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES

Help: When comparing subject A with subject B in a comparative essay you should be mentioning both subjects in your paragraph. Please do not do the first half of the essay on subject A and then the second half on subject B–that will seem like two (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost. 

Using reasonable and scholarly resources:

• Compare 2 ways your choices are similar
• Compare 2 ways your choices are different

STEP 4: CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

Help: Remember to compare subjects directly, versus separating your discussion about each.

Consider your findings on the similarities and differences mentioned earlier and what it might suggest about differences between the subjects’ cultures. Using reasonable and scholarly resources:

• Compare 3 ways your choices’ cultures are different

STEP 5: MODERN DAY EXAMPLES

Using reasonable and scholarly resources:

• Suggest a modern day example of your first choice, and provide a rationale for your suggestion
