When comparing two things, I used to do this 1) Intro 2) How they are the same. 3) How they are different. 4) Weird facts about the topic. 5) Wrap it up!!!!!

First a question of my own: How in heck did you write an intro without knowing the thesis? The intro should introduce your main point- which is the thesis! Basically, what's the point of your paper? That both methods work fine? That one is better? What does your research tell you? That will be your thesis- in this, I imagine it'll basically be an opinion you back up with facts, which is what the rest of the paper will present. Once you have your main point, feel free to write back and I'll do what I can to help with the transition.

Your thesis statement is usually one sentence in your first paragraph that basically sums up what your entire paper will be about. It also lets the reader know what to expect. Your thesis statement could be something as simple as: Although both can provide a quality education to its students, there are many differences between home schooling and public schooling. A transition paragraph just kind of connects your paragraphs together. Try to establish a connection between the last sentence of one paragraph and the first sentence of the paragraph that follows it. This makes your writing flow much better. An example of a transition would be: At the end of one paragraph, you talk about over-crowding in public schools. So, at the beginning of the next paragraph, you could start by saying that over-crowding is never a problem for home schooling. Good luck with your paper!
