Building the essay


Aims

Building the essay is the constructing and composing stage of the writing process.  It involves

  • developing ideas logically in individual paragraphs
  • including only ideas that are relevant to the central focus of the essay
  • ensuring that each paragraph flows smoothly and logically to the end of the essay

If you have planned well, by the time you come to write the first draft of the essay, you should know where you are going, how you will answer the question, and roughly how many main points you will have in the body of the essay within the given word limit.

In this section, you will learn how to:

  • construct an effective introduction that shows your understanding of the question and the key issues to be discussed
  • build key ideas into unified and coherent body paragraphs
  • write a strong conclusion to end your essay effectively
