HOW TO: WRITE A KILLER ENGLISH ESSAY

hello again !! essay writing for english has the possibility to be quite challenging, so i gathered a few tips so you can smash your next essay :] [original image]

have a solid thesis

make it

sophisticated

insightful

thematically relevant

this is the argument for your essay !! 

no need to make it too wordy or complex though

think, how can i answer the question in one sentence? 

introduction

signpost your arguments

provide some context and introduce some insight into your topic

create an impressive sentence at the start and end to inform the reader of your main argument 

the person reading it/the markers should be able to see how you answered the question by referencing your thesis and arguments !!

body paragraphs

topic sentences !!!!

textual evidence !! - necessity to support your point

quote or reference to your text(s) 

more than one from different parts of the text

this shows your level of understanding of the text

explanation & critical analysis 

analyse and explain relevance of every quote !!

justification !!!!! [supports your argument !!]

reference back to your thesis and link to the question !!!!

topic sentences

begin every paragraph

they are practically tiny versions of your thesis

they pave the way for your argument

make them concise and clear 

integrating quotes

don’t treat it as a ‘cut and paste’ situation. it’ll make your essay seem block-like and won’t flow as well as it should

embed them in the sentence

conclusion

link back to the question & your thesis with style

don’t restate all points

give insight and create profound conclusions

this is your “zen moment” - [you have reached enlightenment] this is all about stating your conclusions :] :] :]

answering the question

refer to your syllabus/curriculum/criteria for the essay !!! that is where the answer is !!! 100% it’ll show you what they are looking for in an answer

use the words of the question in your answer [particularly thesis and topic/closing sentences]

there you go ! i hope this helpful in one way or another :] i went to a lecture recently and took down heaps of notes, and this is what i got out of it, so i hope you enjoy !!
