Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of technology.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs.
In your essay, use paragraph 2 to describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski.
In paragraph 3, youll write about the perspective of Leslie White.
In paragraph 4, youll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler.
Paragraph 5 is your summary and conclusion. Here, youll compare the three perspectives to show how they are, or may be, similar. Youll contrast the three perspectives to describe how theyre different. Youll end this process–and your essay–by expressing your view as to which of these theorists (one or more) offer the most useful insights into the evolution of technology, in your opinion.
Its permissible to use direct quotes from your reading, but dont use too many. One to three such quotes should be your limit. Be sure to put a direct quote in quotation marks. For example: According to Smith, Carbon dioxide is both our friend and our enemy.
