Writing an essay, 8 simple steps ... :)

When writing an essay,follow these eight basic steps__________________________________

Select a topic
Be sure the topic is narrow enough to make it manageable within the space of an essay

Write a thesis sentence
Be sure the thesis statement(or sentence) expresses a controlling idea that is neither too
broad nor too specific to be developed effectively

Select a method of development
Check through all the methods before you finally settle on the one which will best serve your thesis
definition - example
compare & contrast - cause & effect
classification - process analysis
Organize the essay
Begin by listing the major divisions which the body paragraphs in your essay will discuss; then fill in the primary supports that each body paragraph of the essay will contain


Write topic sentences for the body paragraphs of the essay
For each body paragraph, furnish a topic sentence that directly relates to the thesis sentence

Write the body paragraphs of the essay
Each body paragraph should develop the primary support covered in that paragraph's topic sentence

Furnish a paragraph of introduction
An introductory paragraph should state the thesis of the essay, introduce the divisions in the body paragraphs of the essay, gain the interest of the reader

Write a paragraph of conclusion
A concluding paragraph should restate the thesis and divisions of the essay bring the essay to an appropriate and effective close without digressing into new issues
