Essay Writing for School

Hey People!!!! 


Is this you when asked to write an essay?? 

Fear not, essay writing, can become one of your strength's with a little practice and hard work. Apart from being an indispensable component of your school education, essay's are also very important later on, while applying to colleges and universities, so it's best to master essay's in school itself. Here are some really useful tips for writing essay's:

1) READ THE QUESTION PROPERLY!!!

Even though this is kind of obvious, a lot of people understand the question incorrectly and hence their entire essay is almost invalid. So read the question, understand it, highlight key words, think about what should be the skeleton of your essay and then begin writing. Reading and understanding the question is the first step towards writing your essay, and the most important. (If you cannot understand the question, don't be hesitant, shy or embarrassed to ask the teacher or invigilator, other students may also have the same problem.)

2) RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!!!



For essay writing assignments, which must be submitted in a week or two, your research will distinguish you from the class. After you follow tip no 1, and understand the question, research is the second step. Researching the topic gives you valuable insights and information and forms the basis of your content in the essay. Try to get into as many details as possible, that will score you brownie points with the teacher!

3) BRAINSTORMING!!!

Whether its for an assignment or a surprise test, brainstorming before writing is always essential. Think about various things you could write about, think about how you wish to start and conclude and think about the topic as a whole for quality content in your essay.

4) TIME FOR "THE THESIS!!!"

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) PLAN IT!!!

Put your ideas in a logical sequence, and make sure every point is relevant to the question. After the plan has been written your essay should have a direction to it. 

6) LET THE WRITING...BEGIN!!!

Start the discussion, and introduce your thesis. This is the part of the essay, where the reader must be engaged and interested, so use interesting words, and try to connect with the reader on an emotional and intellectual level. 

7) MID WAY THROUGH!!!

Ensure each point is a new paragraph and make sure that the points are clear and they make sense. No one likes to read ambiguous points.  

8) THE END!!!

Summarize the main ideas and clearly demonstrate how your thesis has been proven. Finish the essay with an interesting sentence or line.
