You might consider writing the body of the essay and then  the introduction.  This works because you now know what you need to introduce, rather than writing your introduction and having your body live up to your introduction.\n\nMake sure you include a couple of important lessons you've learned, thir importance and why they are important, even making each lesson a new paragraph.   Depending on your grade, each paragraph should contain:\n\nlower grades:  3-5 sentences\nmiddle grades: 5-7 sentences\nlower upper grades: 7-10 sentences\nupper grades (hs seniors) 10-15 sentences

I would love to help you. Along with your essay, make a small project like a tree, and how each BRANCH(get it) works. Unfortunatly, You waited until last minute. I have done that; it is not the way to go

take the essay that you are writing about piece by piece.  1st write about the first 1/3 of the essay(this is hard to help with though cause I don't know what the essay is about).....then the rest,  state some facts about the essay then if it requires opinion go into what you thing about it.  This is difficult to advise on but you should read some example essays in the future when you are under less pressure. There are lots on the Internet just go under "review essays" or "paper review" or something like that.  You're school should also have papers on file in the library.  Writing papers is going to be very important in the future so you need to hone your writing skills.

The first step is to decide what your subject is about. Then you need to determine your purpose and audience. Your purpose may be writing to inform, persuade, compare and contrast, entertain, etc. When you decided your purpose, you then tailor it to your audience. These are two very important aspects for writing. They help to govern what will and will not be included in your essay. \n\nThe next step is to pre-write. I like doing two or three different kinds, depending on what I'm doing. Brainstorm for ideas, list, create a venn diagram, develop an outline (usually a later step, to help organize), develop a web diagram, talk into a tape recorder. Do what ever you need to start your paper. \n\nThe Second pre-writing stage, should be some sort of organization. You do not have to stay to this organization. Instead its used to guide you as you write your paper.\n\nThird, start drafting. Don't worry about mistakes. Those will be taken care of later. Jut get your thoughts down. My suggestions is to write on paper, every other line (this helps with revisions), unless you absoulutley cannot write without the computer. There is no one area you have to start with. You can start with the body paragraphs, and then join them later with the intro and conclusion, or you can start with the intro, and work your way down. As you write your paper, remeber you need to support it well. Think of it as an elephant. If an elephant has 0-2 legs, it will not stand. Three legs will allow it remain standing, but will still be a little wobley. However, four legs gives it perfect balance. \n\nDo not put in to much information, as your paragraphs may be come crowded with details. Instead, if it looks like you may have seval ideas that branch off and flow, then you might have several paragraphs in one. \n\nThe fourth step is to revise. This does not include grammatical, punctuation, or spelling. Those will be taken care of at a later time. Instead, concentrate on the major issues. There is a good acronym to help you remember what to do here: ARMS-Add, Remove, Move, or Start all over. Look at your paper and decide if you need to add information, remove it, move sentences to another location, or if you need to start all over again. Do not be afraid to start all over. Sometimes, are first efforts do not do the job. So instead, we need to rewrite. If you wrote it out on every other line, you will be able to add your revisions in the spaces not written. Make sure to use a different colored ink or pencil, to help you find the changes. Also, use highlighters, to color code your changes, if your a very visual person. If possible, have others make comments over your paper. \n\nThe final step is to edit. Once you have rewritten your paper, you need to then start looking for the minor mistakes, that prevent your paper from flowing smoothly. If you want, you can type it on the computer. There are many programs that will help with editting, if you are not sure about what to correct.  \n\nGood luck

Know your essay subject \nYou must learn to write essays from an excess of knowledge. Go to lectures, read up on the subject in the library, look up the latest academic papers and thoroughly immerse yourself in the essay subject before writing. Without this work to find out the information, you cannot write an essay with authority and command of your essay subject matter. Here are some tips to help you when you gather this information.\n\nCollect more information than you will use\nAlthough your research will give you a mass of information, you must use only the information that answers the question set. You will probably collect a hundred facts, read a dozen opinions and review three or four of the most recent academic discussions of the subject. However, to answer the question set, you must cut this information down to the key facts, most pertinent opinions and perhaps refer to only the most relevant discussion papers.\n\nRead primary sources first\nIf you were writing an essay on the Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, you could not write a good one without first reading the play. Too often, students ignore the primary source of material. If you are writing an essay on Rousseau’s philosophy, there’s no excuse for not reading the original source contract rather than a critique of Rousseau’s writings. Studying the primary sources of information let you assess other information written on the subject.\n\nUse a systematic way of taking notes \nYou need to have a method of note-taking. No matter how you record the information, cards, notebook or in a computer database, bear the following in mind. \n\nUse a one-word or two-word key to each note. This lets you sort them later and group related information together. \nDistinguish between primary and secondary sources. An example of a primary source would by Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. A secondary source would be a critique of Das Kapital by another author.\nDistinguish between facts and opinions. You must base your essay around facts. Without key facts you cannot present your arguments or assess other people’s opinions. \nLook out for the ten key facts that are the backbone to your essay. What information documents the subject and develops the ideas and arguments you are going to use? \nLook for quotable quotes. Too often, lazy students quote chunks of text from documents, rather than selecting the most important thought or view in fewer words.\nDon’t write out extracts word for word. Your notes are notes — not a copy of the words in the reference books. \nKeep a record of all information sources. A record of each information source:\nLets you find your source research material quickly. \nHelps you write up footnotes and reference lists.

One of the other answers hinted at the key: start general....what is the broad topic you want to write about (e.g., academic achievement, drug abuse, accounting scandals) and then get more specific (e.g., racial differences in academic achievement, social causes of drug abuse, ways to avert accounting scandals), and then even more specific.....but start general, then get specific.

You need to make the first paragraph about what you are going to talk about in the whole essay. Begin with a sample of a problem that happened when there was no supervision. Then list a few examples without telling the whole story. In the next parpgraphs tell the examples and near the end give some examples of ways to prevent this from happening again. In the last paragraph tell what you wrote about in a summary of the problems and solutions and who could be contacted or a group for a committee to make the new rules and how to pay for more staff or technology or whatever you come up with for solutions. My daughter was in the 5th grade and went to the K class to read to the class twice a week. The teacher left her alone with the class and went "home" 1 1/2 blocks from the school,walking! She was very lucky that nothing happened while she was gone. I didn't know about it until it had happened several times. She had not told anyone she was leaving the school either.I got it stopped after I found out! Best wishes and I hope I helped!

how long does the essay have to be?\n\ni would rewrite the introduction definitely. i would probably focus more on electives or rewrite it in a way that emphasizes your electives\n\nim a little fuzzy on the tutoring thing - did you tutor students (and if so then, write your reasonings behind tackling a harder subject) or were you being tutored? (and if so, then add what youve got from it - other than it being reflected in your test scores)\n\nand also, talk more about psychology and anatomy. what exactly did you get out of it, why did you decide to pursue it in the future, any eye-opening experiences or something... are you excited to get more into it in college or - what.\n\nyea, these are just suggestions though, so its up to you to use them :]

Do you know what your essay will be about?  It is tough to give you a topic sentence without a little more guidance from you.\n\nYour topic sentence simply states the main idea of your essay in your introductory paragraph.  This is what your essay will be about. \n\nFor example, if your topic sentence is "Fishing has been the main industry in Atlantic Canada for 400 years", then your whole essay will be about fishing in Atlantic Canada.  \n\nIf your topic sentence is "Recent world events have greatly complicated the aviation industry" then your essay will be about that sentence. \n\nMaybe you'd like to write about dogs.  Your topic sentence might be "Golden retrievers have become the  most popular working dog in North America."\n\nThese links may also help you.  Best of luck with your essay.

I still rely on one single thing to help me write the best possible essay I can . . . an outline. See, the problem with most essays is that the content is disorganized. You may have great ideas and facts that you want to write about, but somewhere during the writing process you start mixing them up. Suddenly your perfect paper sounds all wrong and you want to scream! I've found that the best papers I've ever written (meaning my A papers) have all started with a good, solid outline. Once you have an outline down, your paper writes itself. Your thoughts are organized and the teacher can understand your main point (which is your thesis) and how you supported that point. A focused paper is the key to writing a good essay. Here's the format for the outline I usually follow:\n\nI. Topic / Title\n\nII. Introduction of Essay\nA. Write a few sentences that lead into the main point of your essay\nB. End the paragraph with your thesis statement (3 main points you are going to support)\n     1. First point in thesis\n     2. Second point in thesis\n     3. Third point in thesis\n\nIII. Body of Essay\nA. Topic One - First Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\nB. Topic Two - Second Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\nC. Topic Three - Third Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\n\nIV. Conclusion\nA. Write a few sentences summarizing your essay\nB. Restate your thesis and how you proved your point\n\nOnce you fill in the blanks to this outline with your topic and information, the rest is easy! Make sure to check your spelling and punctuation, and then you're good to go!

If I were a teacher, I'd like to read an essay about schools. The history of them, how they came about, how they compare to todays schools and tests. Maybe who the first teacher was, what they did to make school what it is today.

Write about something you know, and dont try to use big words if they aren't necessary.  Use a great hook at the beginning but it's just an essay dont get carried away, just stay away from "Have you ever heard about......Well I'm going to tell you about...." or stupid introductions like that.  Make sure you use transitions in between paragraphs.  the last sentence of a paragraph should relate to the first sentence in the next paragraph.  \ndepending on the college, most have a writing center that have people there to help you get your ideas out on paper.  I suggest going there if you need help in the technical aspect of how to write it, if it is ideas on an open essay (you pick the topic) then just think about something you truely enjoy or are knowledgable about.

http://www.historyguide.org/guide/guidelines.html\n\nThis is a guide that gives you an idea on what to do.\n\nI am a former English Major in college (Now doing Video Game Design) - and the advice that I give to the kids that I tutor about research essays is this: (of course, this depends on if the topic is assigned to you or if you get to choose.) Know your topic. Read up on it. Think of two or three questions about the topic that you would like answered (you don't have to answer them specifically) - if you cannot find a solid answer to that question, then explain that fact in your paper.\n\nThis piece of advice doesn't just cover research essays, but homework in general. Have integrity and show it. Don't turn something in when it doesn't honestly represent what you believe. Talk to your teacher if you need some time, or if your stuck on a particular point. If you'll get marked down for being late, consider the fact that you'll probably get marked down anyways if it's a paper that sloppily put together. Think about that. \n\nGood luck!
