A Short Guide to Essay Planning and Structure

Introduction:

  1. The introduction is the place where you tell the reader what your essay will be about. A good way to do this is to simply have one or two paragraphs that introduce every aspect of your topic, but not too many (as that would take up too much space).
  2. You must make it clear who will benefit from reading this essay e.g. those who are planning on entering a similar course in the future or someone who wants to help out their local community center by volunteering there.(you can also add information here about which sources essay writer used and how they helped with your essay)
  3. You should definitely include an example of what kind of paper you are going to write here (this gives the reader an idea of what you are going to write about. This could be a quote from someone, an anecdote from the introduction or just a short story that is related to the essay).

 

Body: Chapters(1-4)

  1. A good plan is to have around 4 chapters in your paper which main point is in chapter 1 and then each chapter should keep on adding more details about your topic but not take it too far away from your original thesis statement.
  2. Using evidence (bibliography and paraphrasing) can make this really easy as all you need to do is write down everything that you can find out about your topic, at first it might seem like there's no end to how much stuff there is out there, but trust me you will eventually come to the end of your internet search, and probably have so much information in front of you that it will be hard to know where to start, but do not worry because this is just a good problem to have.
  3. After every chapter (or paragraph these might not be necessary) make sure you use evidence from at least 2 sources relevant to your topic and add references with page number for each source.(you can also put statistical data here if its relevant).
  4. The last chapter should offer an alternative way of dealing with your problem or perhaps suggest some findings that are yet to be discovered

 

Conclusion:

  1. This is supposed to summarise all the points in the essay which again does not have to be a long paragraph.
  2. You need to remind the reader of what you have already said in your introduction so they understand that this is not just random information that has been thrown together but instead it follows on logically from your first point.
  3. Then you should make suggestions for other people who might want to follow up on the topic that you have researched and even give some suggestions as to how they could go about researching their own topics.(the key here is to use lots of sources, like don't just say "I think", but say "According to my research..")
  4. And remember take into consideration of any questions that you have left unanswered in the essay during the course of your research and answer those too (but try not to just repeat yourself)
  5. You might also like to add some references of your own for other people who want to do more research and make this a collaborative effort with every person adding their own ideas which can help everyone's knowledge on the topic immensely.
  6. Lastly free essay writer need to thank all those wonderful people who gave up their time, money and resources in helping you complete this essay.(you must use evidence here too).
