2-CH 3 Planning

CH 3 Planning

In this chapter it describes the steps in which you plan out the essay you are going to write. First, you must have an introduction and a conclusion. You need about three other paragraphs. Start researching. Find points to put in your middle paragraphs. Some paragraphs might only have one point but others may have three, four or five. This is one of the hardest steps and is the core to your essay. It only needs to be written in short hand. Keep a record of websites, books (including page numbers) and articles you use to help you. Back up your points. For each point you write you need to find evidence to prove it. This could be a quote or an example. If it's a quote be sure you write it down exactly how it is so you can copy it from your mind map. Write your introduction. Just a few key points for the plan. Make sure you don't try to put too much in the introduction. Write the conclusion points. Make sure you tie up everything nicely and that you've answered the question. The best essays will link between the paragraphs so it all flows smoothly. Often this is quite difficult and sometimes you might just have to move abruptly to a new topic but avoid this as much as possible. Write your essay.
