Writing an essay
Write an essay plan using your outline or mind map notes.
Make sure you have an introduction and conclusion.
Write the details of the resources used as a bibliography or reference list.
Decide which quotations and other support information you will include.
Write your first draft and put it away for a week.
After the week is up, read your draft again and ask yourself:
Do all your points relate to the essay topic and follow a logical sequence?
Do the ideas flow?
Write your final draft and remember to check the spelling and grammar.
Tip: Read your essay aloud - this is a useful technique for written work.
