WRITING
YOUR ESSAY
INTRODUCTION
Your introduction must show how you are going to structure your information in the remainder of the essay, identifying the main points that you will address, as well as how they relate to the question.
BODY
The body of the essay is divided into a number of paragraphs. each paragraph gives a section of the information and must correspond with what you wrote in your introduction. You must provide a clear argument, backing up each of your points with the evidence that you collected. You can quote from books and other research material to emphasise a point or to explain why you are making some claim. however, use quotes sparingly. Do not fill your essay with another person’s words. Your lecturers want to know what you think, and are more interested in your own words and explanations of concepts.
CONCLUSION
When writing your conclusion you must briefly summarise your argument and findings. emphasise your main ideas and how they answer the question.
TIP -
The conclusion summarises the main points and leads the reader back to the question. The conclusion should be brief and not include any new information.
