You can see from this if your essay has a natural flow, with the general narrative (logical story leading to your conclusion) making sense.
#WRITING A FINAL DRAFT ESSAY FULL#
It may be a good idea to write out in full the topic sentence of each paragraph - the sentence that makes the point that the paragraph is about.

Include in your plan, your main sections and arguments, in the order in which you will present them. Once this is done, create a plan of the middle section of your essay which is much more detailed than your original rough plan and which takes into account any changes you made to the conclusion.

Using the reading you have done, revisit your draft introduction/conclusion to see if you want to amend it due to your reading. Create a detailed plan of the middle section of your essay With that in mind, you should be able to work out roughly how many points you need to make given the length of your essay. If we look at 3 examples:ĥ. Academic paragraphs are usually between 200 and 300 words long (they vary more than this but it is a useful guide). The number of key points that you need to make to reach your conclusion will, to some extent, be dictated by the length of your essay. This is the point where you need to be deciding the key points for each of your paragraphs. You should now be able to draft either a simple conclusion or a rough plan of your introduction. If you have not reached a considered opinion yet, then it is time to do some initial reading-probably just around your recommended texts to begin with-so that you can decide where you stand on the issue at hand. You will probably have had some lectures that were relevant to the essay so you may already have an idea what your overall position will be. After you have analysed your essay question(see the Analysing questions page in this guide), it is worth making a note of your initial thoughts.
