Writing Essays For School Fast, Part I: Research And Preparation
Essays are among the biggest bane of schoolwork. Learning a formula and memorizing dates can be easy once you get the hang of it. Essays, on the other hand, require hours of work crafting just the perfect synergy of words and ideas into a cohesive piece.
Most school essays are, for the most part, opinion articles with a modicum of facts peppered in as supporting ideas. When writing an essay, follow these steps and you might just save yourself a couple of hours of unnecessary work.
1. When researching the topic of your essay, focus on important facts. Every subject has a multitude of facets, which can make research more work than is necessary. Focus on the major details and base your eventual essay from there.
2. Gather other people’s opinions on the subject. This is easier than ever with the web providing countless amounts of review and opinion pieces on almost everything under the sun.
3. Once you’ve decided on which position you will write your essay (e.g. you want to contend that Whitesmoke is the best English writing software), pick out all the opinion pieces that support your conclusion.
4. Create an outline detailing the most important points you want to get across. Use the research facts as well as opinion pieces as your basis for this. All essay outlines will need an Introduction, a Body and a Conclusion. In the Introduction, list down three major facts about the subject of your research that are most relevant to your essay. In the Body section of your outline, list down the major arguments made in the opinion pieces you researched that support your position. You can leave the Conclusion blank for the outline as it will essentially be a summary of everything you’ve written up to that point.
