東京理科大学 A英3: Final writing assignment support post (Part 2)・期末作文のサポート (Part 2)

Hello!



How are you? Here is a second supporting post for any of you who are interested in doing a comparison and contrast (比較対照) about famous scientists for your final writing assignment project.  

Look at the picture at the top. I believe everybody recognizes him - Albert Einstein, and the famous picture of him sticking his tongue out to the photographer! But everyone also knows him to be the foremost theoretical physicist of the 20th century, whose discoveries are still the basis for modern physics.


Task preparation

Any of you who are interested in writing a comparison and contrast about famous scientists are free to choose any two scientists you know of for your project. But if you can't think of who to write about, here are four ideas for you that you can use if you like. 

Choose two (2) of these famous scientists and compare and contrast their achievements. Follow these steps when writing about them:


First, show who they are (or were), and where they did their most famous work or research


Next, show what their most famous achievements were - inventions, discoveries, medicines, and so on - and what impact these things had. Show details of things such as chemical properties, patents, developments of vaccines, or anything else that you can find out quickly. 


Finally, show which of their achievements you believe might have been the greater by comparison, and that you believe had the overall greater impact


Here are some scientists you can choose from if you need to: 



Thomas Edison

Yoshiro Nakamatsu

Jokichi Takamine

Kikunae Ikeda

I hope these can give you ideas if you need them - or help you think of your own famous scientists to profile and compare and contrast in their impact. 


Good luck! I'll look forward to reading your great writing on this theme. 


See you next week!
