Your essay should consist of an introduction, the main body and a conclusion:

The Introduction

You will only need one paragraph or at the most 2 in this section. Use your introduction to outline what you are aiming to do in your essay – introduce your intentions and how you are going to go about answering the set question. Keep this section as brief as you can.

The Main Body

This is where all your arguments will take place including for and against.

Include any quotes from your research as evidence to back up your arguments. These will probably be from course textbooks as well as any resources that you have found while researching the subject of your essay.

Be sure to keep careful note of any resources that you find – it is easy to subconsciously use what you have read, and without referencing it you run the risk of being accused or plagiarism (trying to pass off material that isn’t your own work).

The Conclusion

Keep this section for the conclusion to your arguments, making sure that you do not include any new material – leave that for the main body.

This section will bring your essay to a close where you can sum up your arguments and show that you have reached a conclusion.

Some people outline their conclusion before they start on their essay – they find that this gives them a focus as they work through their arguments. This may work for you, or you may find other ways that work best for you.

You could also write a plan by using bullet points as to what you are going to include in each section before attempting to write your essay. Again this is personal preference – try different ways of working until you find what is best for you. Everyone is different.

Once you have written your essay, leave it a few days before reading it over. Then print it out and read it through – you can even read it out loud if that suits. Then make any changes and go through the process again and again until you are absolutely satisfied with it.
