step to writing an essay
Ten steps for
writing an essay
Rather than worrying about an essay for
weeks, read through these 10 points, get
in some early preparation and have the
self-belief that you can do it.
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'.
Identify the topic words that indicate the particular subject of the essay, eg the
character of ‘Juliet' in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the ‘causes' of World War 1.
Identify any limiting words that restrict the discussion to a particular area, eg in
‘Chapters 1-3', during the ‘nineteenth century'.
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.
Write down quotations that may be particularly useful, but ensure the source of these
quotes is acknowledged if they're used.
Take note of sources so they can be provided in footnotes and the bibliography.
3. Brainstorm ideas in response to the question
Jot down any relevant points.
Make note of any relevant evidence or quotes that come to mind.
Use a mind map to help stimulate lateral thinking.
4. Develop a thesis (idea/argument) that encapsulates
the response to the question
The thesis should be a statement that strongly expresses the overall response to the
question.
Avoid a thesis that's too simplistic – show thought has been put into some of the
complexities behind the question.
The thesis is the backbone of the essay – it will be stated in the introduction. It also
needs to be referred to several times in the essay before restating it and
demonstrating how it has been proven in the conclusion.
5. 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.

6. Write the introduction
Open up the discussion.
Introduce the thesis.
Indicate how the questions will be answered.
Name any texts to be discussed, if appropriate.
Engage the reader.
7. 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, eg, 'however', ‘in addition', ‘nevertheless',
‘moreover'.
Start each paragraph with a topic sentence that clearly links the paragraph to the rest
of the essay, eg "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 thesis, and express it in different ways if possible, to emphasise how the
question is being addressed.
8. Write the essay conclusion
Summarise the main ideas.
Demonstrate how you have proven your thesis.
Finish with an interesting or thought-provoking, but relevant, comment.
9. Edit the draft
Check for spelling, punctuation and grammar.
Delete any sections that are not particularly relevant.
Change vocabulary to improve expression.
Seek feedback from peers or a teacher before writing the final copy.
10. Write the final copy
Add any footnotes or bibliography if required.
Present a clean, neat copy.
Submit on time.
paragraph writing
Paragraphs are groups of sentences. They can be used to:
• give a definition, explain a theory or a model See over
• give a description of a practice e.g. work-place, interview situation, group
• give justification for your position e.g. when you have to develop an argument See over
• give your analysis and/or evaluation about what is happening in a particular situation/workplace practice in relation to theory See over. In general, a paragraph should have the following structure:
• an introductory or topic sentence stating what the paragraph is about
• sentences to develop this idea e.g. by explaining the idea further, giving examples
• all ideas/examples/statistics that are not your own appropriately referenced
• a sentence that concludes by stating the relevance of the ideas in the paragraph e.g. to the point (stated in the beginning sentence), to the assignment task or relevant part of the assignment task. So a sentence or two does not constitute a paragraph! At least four sentences are needed. Questions to ask yourself before you write your paragraphs Ask yourself what it is you need to do. Do I need to describe, e.g. a situation or a workplace? Do I need to give a reason for my viewpoint? Do I need to present an analysis, e.g. of a practice or behaviour? Do I need to give my analysis and evaluation, e.g. of a practice or behaviour? Do I need to reflect or give my opinion e.g. on a practice, situation, issue?
Essay Plan
There are two main types of essays: those based on theory and those based on the application
of theory to a practical situation or scenario.
Essays based on theory
are often centred on problems or issues under debate and generally
require a formal response to a set question, statement or a proposition. This is to encourage
you to research and think critically about the various viewpoints and ideas presented in the
literature to enable you to form
your own viewpoint/position/answer to the question. So in
this kind of essay you have to have a viewpoint (argument) and convince the reader, that
your
viewpoint or perspective is credible i.e. develop your argument.
You do this by using the
ideas of others to justify your viewpoint.
Essays based on theory and practice
generally require either:
• relating and/or evaluating a theory (or theories) to practice/s (e.g. explain
communication theory/theories and give examples from everyday life), or
• evaluation of a practice by using criteria from theory (e.g. analyse and evaluate
communication practices in your workplace).
Again you must form your viewpoint/answer and use and acknowledge the ideas in the
literature to support your viewpoint.
Common problems with the presentation of ideas in essays
• Not developing an argument. This is one of the most common problem in essays
particularly those essays that ask the student to respond to a question or proposition.
• Not making the link between theory and practice (where appropriate of course!)
• Not justifying the analysis/evaluation/reflection with sufficient theory and thus use of intext
referencing.
• Not writing to convey analysis and/or evaluation but rather writing descriptively i.e. telling
a story.
• Not communicating the link between the ideas in the essay and the assignment
task/question.
• Not writing in paragraphs (i.e. having a couple of sentences together rather than having
groups of at least 4 sentences that follow from one to the next).
• Not inserting a space between paragraphs.
