TITLE/QUESTION: Explore what can be learnt about Crooks from the description of his room.
Consider:
- His status
- His character / personality
Every essay title contains an explicit or implicit question. Your essay should focus on answering that question.
INTRODUCTION: (about 10% of the essay)
- Your first sentence should include key words from the task title
- What issues/topics are you going to explore?
- What will be your focus?
- What will your essay show?
MAIN BODY (about 80% of the essay)
Use a chain of paragraphs to EXPLORE AND DEVELOP your ideas/argument.
You will probably have 2 or 3 main ideas to explore.
Each idea will need its own paragraph in which you will introduce the topic (through a topic sentence), and present examples and evidence to show why it is important and how it links to the essay title
In each paragraph the reader is asking you to explain:
- What is this paragraph about?
- What is your argument on this?
- What is your evidence? (i.e. ensure you use relevant quotations from the text. Then explore what this reveals (think PEE)
- How does it link to the essay title?
- How does it link to the topic in the next paragraph?
CONCLUSION (about 10% of the essay)
- Do not introduce any NEW material here.
- Summarise your ideas/argument (you might also have done this in your introduction)
- Restate what you consider to be the main points
- Make it clear why those conclusions are important or significant.
- In your last sentence: link your conclusions or recommendations back to the title.
