essay writing tipsPLANNING - Always think before you begin to write.
The first thing you need to do is think about your overall response to the statement. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Or, can you see both sides of the argument? The second thing you need to do is think about your reasons. Why do you hold this opinion? Can you think of three solid reasons? Are each of your reasons different? Finally, think about evidence you can give to support your arguments. Can you think of examples from the texts you have studied? Can you think of examples from your own experiences or knowledge? Do you know of any scientific evidence you could discuss? Do you need to do some research to check your facts, or find new ones? |
Please provide any additional information you think your teacher might need when assessing your response.
