How to write an essay?

An essay is an extended piece of writing whose purpose is to present a particular point of view. It could be defined as academic writing to validate, analyze, interpret, or set facts and procedures regarding a particular issue. Lozano, L. (2020).

Steps to writing an Essay

1. Decide the kind of essay you want to write:

Do you want to write an argumentative, descriptive, synoptic, analytical, exploratory, or a review essay? What is your purpose?

2. Brainstorm and Research your essay topic. Then, develop a thesis.

Be sure you have a clear vision of your topic. Then, write an introduction to begin your essay, at least two or three body paragraphs to develop the introduction, and a conclusion to end the essay. Use transitions to help the readers understand the organization of the ideas.

3. Edit your essay:

·         Did you support your ideas, give examples, reasons, facts, and details?

·         Did you stick to vocabulary and sentence structures you know?

·         Are you sure about your spelling, and grammar?
