    How can we write an essay?

    These are some steps in writing an essay:


    1. Read the essay question carefully

    Highlight key words.


    Use the dictionary to check the meaning of any unfamiliar words.
    Identify the task words that indicate what needs to be done, eg discuss', explain', compare'.

    2. Finish any necessary reading or research as background to the essay

    Be selective: use sources which are relevant and accessible.


    Write notes in your own words.

    3. Write a plan for the response

    Order ideas in a logical sequence.


    Make sure every point in the plan is relevant to the question.
    After the plan has been written it should be clear where the essay is going.

    4. Write the introduction

    Open up the discussion.


    Introduce the essay.
    Indicate how the questions will be answered.
    Name any texts to be discussed, if appropriate.
    Engage the reader.

    5. Write the main body of the essay

    Ensure each point is given a new paragraph.


    Use words or phrases at the start of each paragraph that will indicate to the reader how it relates to the
    previous paragraph, e.g., 'however', in addition', nevertheless', moreover'.
    Start each paragraph with a topic sentence that clearly links the paragraph to the rest of the essay, e.g.
    "A striking example of Gary Crew's use of light and darkness imagery to suggest notions of
    knowledge and ignorance occurs in the scene on the jetty".
    Provide supporting evidence for each point that you make.

    Revisit the essay, and express it in different ways if possible, to emphasis how the question is being
    addressed.

    6. Write the essay conclusion

    Summarize the main ideas.


    Demonstrate how you have proven your thoughts.
    Finish with an interesting or thought-provoking, but relevant, comment.

    7. Edit the draft

    Check for spelling, punctuation and grammar.


    Delete any sections that are not particularly relevant.
    Change vocabulary to improve expression.

    8. Write the final copy

    Present a clean, neat copy.
