The best plan sor university essays would be to first do as much research on the topic as possible so u know the material inside out. then take 1 or 2 days to brainstorm. 1 day to write the outline...\n\nthen about 2 days to write ur first draft. give a break for a day and then 2 days for the final draft. again a break for abt a day. then proof read, make someone else read it etc. then keep proof reading till its time to submit it!\n\nSo you should be done in 10 days!

Hi, I'm an english teacher.To write a good essay, you must remember one crucial thing- WRITE THE ESSAY (OR ANY OTHER ANSWER) ASSUMING THAT THE TEACHER READING IT KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE TOPIC, AND YOU ALONE CAN EXPLAIN IT TO HIM/HER IN THE BEST MANNER. Your answer automatically becomes good.\n\nnext,technically an essay has 3 parts.\n1. the introduction: where you define/introduce your topic. if its a festival, tell WHY,WHEN,WHERE it is celebrated. If it's about a preson- tell WHO HE IS,WHERE HE WAS BORN,WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT HIM. If its a moral issue-tell WHAT it means, WHY it's important.All this needs to fit in about 50-60 words.\n\n2. the matter: is where you explain the entire topic in 3-5 paragraphs.Each paragraph must have a theme.Which means that if you're writing about the positive aspect,the whole paragraph must be about it.Don't mix ideas within a single paragraph. Write the positives/negatives, or expaling the entire concept in detail.\n\n3.the conclusion: here write a SHORT account,where you summarize your matter.give SUGGESTIONS or ADVICE or give your own OPINION here. that's all.\n\nMoreover, you must TRY !! good luck.

Develop your own essay writing strategy \n\nFocus on the essay title \n\nDo multiple drafts. \n\nDo not pad. Try to ensure that everything you include is relevant to the essay title. \n\nInclude other opinions. Show that you have considered different sides to the question by discussing points of view that contradict your own. \n\nShow what you have read. \n\nWrite simply. \n\nUse technical terms correctly. \n\nFully reference what you write. \n\nPlan to finish your essay ahead of time.

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!

What about it?  \n\nPick a point to your essay and write it.  Use what you've learned in class and away you go.  100 words is only like 10 sentences.  Not too hard.  Good luck to you.

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.

The French are very strict on the structure of their essays and dissertations. They follow a two part plan.Here is a copy of instructions I was given at uni on how to construct a good essay (it's in french)\n\nMéthode de la dissertation\nAnalysez précisément le sujet et définissez en les termes pour cerner le sujet réellement posé \nNe commencez pas par rédiger l'introduction. \nFaites un plan construit avant de rédiger ; relisez-le et vérifiez-en la cohérence. Soignez les intitulés de chacun de vos titres : évitez les verbes conjugués ; vos titres doivent faire comprendre les idées que vous allez développer. Soignez l'expression et l'orthographe ; maniez les concepts juridiques avec prudence. \nUtilisez vos connaissances. Soyez concis et évitez les banalités. \nQuand vous citez les auteurs écrivez convenablement leur nom. \nResserrer bien le sujet et répondez à la question posée pour éviter le hors sujet\n1 - Bien lire le sujet \nUne réflexion sur les termes du sujet s'impose. Ne commencez pas votre dissertation sans avoir circonscrit le sujet et discerné ses implications principales. \nSeule une bonne compréhension du sujet vous permettra d'être pertinent dans la suite de votre travail.\n2 - L'inventaire\nIl faut inventorier les différentes questions entrant dans le sujet. \nEffectuez ensuite un tri en confrontant à nouveau vos questions à votre sujet. \nCet inventaire sera le matériau qui vous servira à construire votre plan. \nUne fois que votre inventaire semble achevé, il est temps de regrouper vos idées et de chercher à les organiser sous forme d'un plan. \nUn bon plan sera celui qui saura intégrer l'essentiel des points importants de votre inventaire ; en effet au cours de votre inventaire certains points qui vous semblaient à première vue important ne le serons plus. \nVous allez vous rendre compte que parfois vous avez exprimé la même chose sous deux formes différentes (ici joue l'opération intellectuelle du regroupement ; ceci vous évitera les répétions au sein du plan). \nA la fin de votre inventaire il vous faudra en général : Regrouper ; Eliminer ; Organiser. \n\nN.B. : lors de la phase d'inventaire ce sont les connaissances que vous avez acquises qui vous servent. Un mauvais inventaire (c'est-à-dire incomplet) entraîne une mauvaise dissertation. D'où la nécessité de connaître son cours et d'avoir étudier les documents de travaux dirigés. \n3 - Le plan Il vous faut organiser au brouillon votre plan et le structurer. \nLa formulation des titres est très importante. \nVos titres ne doivent pas être des phrases. \nVos titres doivent être : \nconcis; \nconformes à ce que vous allez développer dans vos différentes parties ou sous-parties\ncompréhensibles ; \nécrits en français (cf. problème d'expression).\nToujours au brouillon inscrivez les titres et rédigez les chapeaux \n1 - Votre titre Chapeau : expliquez ce que vous allez développer dans votre A et dans votre B. A - Votre titre Chapeau : expliquez ce que vous allez développer dans les différentes sous-parties \n1 - Votre titre \na - b - c - etc.… \nB - Votre titre \netc.… \nNe pas négliger les chapeaux ainsi que les transitions \nUne fois votre plan déterminé, le relire en vous posant les questions suivantes \nMon plan est-il adapté au sujet ? \nAi-je bien traité l'ensemble du sujet ? \nAi-je bien répondu à la question ? \nMon plan est-il équilibré, cohérent et harmonieux ?\nMon plan ne comporte-t-il pas de répétitions comme par exemple: " Le B du Il ne reprend-il pas une partie du développement contenu dans le 1 du A du I " ? \nMon plan est-il complet et n'ai-je pas laisser échapper un grand problème à étudier ? \nAi-je inséré des exemples ? (un exemple judicieux est parfois plus parlant qu'une longue explication). \nCes questions sont à se poser tout au long de la confection du plan et doiv

Doing your college research is important and a good thing to get started on early.  However, there is a step that must begin prior to that.  \n\nIn order to maximize your search, you need to start thinking about your needs.  From a planning perspective can you answer the following:\n1.  What are my strengths?  What am I good at?\n2.  Instead of thinking about my major, what do I want a career in?  What are my career interests?  \n3.  What do I know about my personality?  Do I have a preference for extraversion/introversion, etc.  How can I be sure to "fit" my career, and my college choice?\n4.  What are my values?  What matter's most to me?\n\nThe start of your college research starts with self awareness.  If you can honestly answer the questions above, then you will be more informed and can make a confident decision on what is the right college for you.\n\nHere are some links for good steps in self awareness.\n1.  Strengths:  http://www.strengthsquest.com  This site is becoming widely used by college and universities in their leadership programs.  \n2.  Interests:  http://apps.collegeboard.com/myroad/navigator.jsp   This is a career interest service provided by the College Board.  Good start at interests. \n3.  Job market and outlook:  http://www.bls.gov/oco/  This site is run by the Dept. of Labor on current job and economic trends impacting the workplace.\n4.  Personality:  http://www.typefocus.com/ This site provides a free personality assessment that you can use for learning about your personality preferences.  \n\nBy doing some of your own "personal" homework, and increasing your own self awareness, you can then truly make a well informed decision about what college to attend.  \n\nI hope this helps.

If you get a choice of essay topics, write about something personal to you.  If the scholarship deals with a specific group of people or a specific subject, write about how much that subject means to you.  (If it's a scholarship for women going into computer science, for example, write about your first programming experience and how you overcame being the only female in your school who liked it.)\n\nAs with all essays, give yourself plenty of time, write an outline, and keep editing.  Give it to someone else to proofread, and then put it aside for a few days.  Pull it out 2-3 days later, edit it again, and send it in :-)

Go to your college counselor and discuss what scholarships they may be aware of. There might be something offered right there at your school that you will qualify for.\n\nAs for scholarships that require essays, find someone that is very good in English to help you with the essay. Not write it for you but to help you with wording suggestions and to proof read it for you, etc.

The best tip I ever got about writing anything was to divide it (be it a report, a story, an essay etc.,) into three parts.  1.  The beginning.  2.   The Middle.  3. The End.   It is surprising how many people get them mixed up.\n\nSimple example:  Once upon a time.....she lived in a castle...a prince took her away......they lived happily ever after.       \n\nNever failed for me at School.

The key to writing an essay is inspiration and structure. Assuming you have a topic, gather what information you can about it, allow your mind to explore the boundaries of that information and see what intersts you about it, then write down a list of those things in th eorder that they appear to be connected. Think of how you can interst your reader in that subject, a catchy title and a few words of introduction. Then work your way through each of your main points (depending on essay length there shouldn't be more than three or four) saying something engaging about each. Now think how you can wrap up what you are saying to finish off with a neat ending. For me the ending always referred back to the introduction in some way and included the words of the title. That brings the whole to a satisfactory conclusion in arounded sort of way. You have posed a question for your reader and and answered it. Try to vary your sentence lengths so as not to be too clunky and keep the language simple. Use of long or obscure words may seem clever at first sight but if they are not in common use can look like bragging - and if you get the wrong meaning of them will only make you look silly. Write in a manner that can be easily read aloud without tripping over or hesitation and you should do well. Good luck - essay writing was my favourite.... And remeber to check your spellings!
