20 pgs?!!? come on, its no that long! Believe me! I had to do a 132 pg biology report on human anatamy when i was a frshmen at high school, and it was a report just on the basics.  Have you ever heard of Writing P.O.W.E.R.? I have no idea who came up with it, but it’s an easy way to learn and remember how to write a good essay from start to finish—from topic to final draft. All you need to do is know what each letter stands for, then follow the steps in order for some P.O.W.E.R.ful writing!\n    \n   First comes P. P. stands for Pre-writing Preparation. This is all the stuff you do before you actually start writing your essay. Some students think this step is not really important and that they don’t need to do it. Wrong! Pre-writing Preparation is probably the most important step of all. Why? Because it’s here that you think, think, think about your topic, what you want to say about it, and how you’re going to say it. The more Pre-writing Preparation you do, the more ideas you will have, and the better your finished essay will be. Pre-writing Preparation is brainstorming for ideas. Some people write a big crazy mixed-up list of anything that comes to mind—good or bad, big or small, main idea or detail, important or not. It doesn’t matter—you will sort it out and clean it up later—this is just the time to start getting ideas out of your head and onto the paper. Some people write a cluster diagram or map of ideas instead of a list. Some do a combination brainstorm and outline. There’s no one best way to do Pre-writing Preparation; do whatever works best for you, but get those ideas on the paper!\n    \n   After Pre-writing Preparation, it’s time to Organize and Outline. This means you look at your list, map or cluster diagram and try to find connections. If you have done good, extensive Pre-writing Preparation, you should have enough ideas there to start seeing a pattern and choosing your essay’s body topics. Do you see a few large, general groups? These become the body paragraph topics. There should be three or more, if possible for the typical essay. All of the little ideas relating to these bigger groups will become the examples and details, in other words the support, of the body topics. Any ideas that don’t make sense, don’t go with your body paragraph topics or are repetitive can go in the garbage! Organize and Outline means taking your ideas, then putting them into logical categories, then listing all the details and examples or information you have about them. Some writers do the introduction and maybe the conclusion at this stage. If that works for you, great. If not, save it for later. \n  \n   After Organize and Outline, it’s time to Write. This will be your first draft, which means it will look basically like an essay, with an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion. However, it doesn’t need to be perfect. You can Write the introduction first, or write the body first and the introduction last. It doesn’t matter what order you Write the paragraphs as long as the reader reads the introduction first. Don’t worry too much about handwriting or typing, spelling or grammar at this point—just get those paragraphs on paper. Take the three (or more) big groups from your Outline. Write a topic sentence for each body paragraph with this big idea as the topic. Now, put all of the examples and details into supporting sentences. Make sure every sentence in the paragraph is about the paragraph’s topic and that every paragraph is about the essay’s topic! If you want to write about something else, please do it in a different essay! \n    \n   If possible, put your first draft away for a few days. This will help you see it with fresh eyes when you Edit and Revise. (Actually, you Revise before you Edit, but then that would give us Writing P.O.W.R.E.! So, let us make the E. something like Error Elimination and Example Expansion. This covers both Editing and Revising!) So, first check your

the admissions committee is looking for a window into you.  A stock essay from a website does not accomplish this.  If you are interested in premed, you obviously want to go into it for a reason.  500 word essay is not that long.  Use the essay to reveal your values, commiment and goals for your degree.

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.

it depends on how long it is supposed to be. If it is five paragraph essay, you could make an outline first, with the roman numerals being \nI. Why teens have homework problems\nII. What the problems are\nIII. How the problems affect their grades\nIV. How they can solve the problem\nV. How solving the problem would effect their grades.\n That is just one example of what you could do. Then elaborate by writing 3-5 sentences about each roman numeral

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.

What is the actual structure of an essay?\nHere is what the classic Five Paragraph Essay looks like:\n\nParagraph One: The Introduction\n\nIn this section you want to start with a hook: a sentence that will grab your reader's attention and get that reader interested in reading therest of the piece. You will want to give a little information about the points that you will be discussing. An introduction is a guide for the reader: a summary of what the rest of the piece is about. At the end of the first paragraph, you whould have a thesis statement that summarizes the main point that you will make. If you are writing apaper on literature, you will want to include the title, the author and the genre. You also might want to mention your three main points within your thesis. Finally, you might want to consider writing the opening paragraph after you have written the rest of the piece. Why? Because you know what is in the body of the essay and you will be better able to write a good thesis statement at that point. . \n\nParagraph Two: The First Topic \n\nEach body paragraph must begin with a topic sentence. A topic sentence will quickly summarize the content of the body paragraph while also link that body paragraph back to the thesis. Within this body paragrah, you will discuss the evidence you have to support your ideas. Maks sure you correctly cite your sources! Also, be sure to present your information in a logical order. \n\nParagraph Three: The Second Topic \n\nSame as Paragraph Two. Choose one of the topics that you mentioned and write about it. Be sure to cite sources to show that you have been doing research. \n\nParagraph Four: The Third Topic \n\nSame as Paragraphs Two and Three. Choose one of the topics that you mentioned and write about it. Be sure to cite sources to show that you have been doing research. \n\nParagraph Five: The Closing \n\nA conclusion can be just as important as the introduction. Always keep in mind that you are trying to convince your reader of something, and the best way to bring your reader around to your way of thinking is to give the impression that you totally understand this topic and you know what you are talking about. Let your reader know that you are now an expert on this topic. If you can, use the same "language" as in your first "grabbing" sentence so that the first paragraph and this one seem to "frame" your ideas and make them hold together.\n\nWhen you are writing, remember that you should have smooth transition sentences between your paragraphs that help one idea flow into another and thus make the paper easier to read. Don't know how to make a transition sentence? Check with your English teacher for advice.

First of all, u need to know exactly what ur gonna write about, set the exact content and organization for it. Start by a catchy intro, a question, anecdote, quotation and so on. Write the intro from general to specific and only mention the exact topic of urs in the last sentence after having talked about the history or such. For every body paragraph, try to do ur best in unfiying the topic about it and metnion it generally in the 1st sentence. Write a good conclusion by giving a suggestion, recommendation, advice or even summarize what u have mentioned in the body par. \nThru doing this u have to take PERFECT care of ur grammar and ur choice of Vocabulary.\nEvery par should not beless than 6 sentences MINIMUM to be of a decent content.

Depends on how hard your subject is and how much digging you need to do.\nI am just beginning to write a book for kids. It will be a simple book but since it is not fiction it does take research which can be done online or at a library. Your are doing research paper for what? College, work, to write?\nMany who write non-fiction full length books can take a year if they are pushing. Others take 6 months on easier topics. Just make sure you reasearch all avenues dont leave anything uncovered. Push yourself to get more and more infor. You can always drop some of it later if it is not accurate or not appropriate.\n\nGood Luck

As long as it needs to be to express the concept and address the issues which will be faced.  There's no ideal size.  I've seen 2 page plans that are more complete than 60 page booklets.  My guess would be that it probably will fill out 20 or 25 pages if it has looked at all the relevant issues, but that doesn't mean that a 5 page plan isn't sufficient for most uses.  If you're just doing something for a bank loan, you can probably run through the basics in 8 or 10 pages.\n\nWhat's more important is that you've covered all the relevant issues.  What people want to see is that you've considered what you are getting into, and have some clue how to address the challenges you will face.

In the introduction, give a general idea of the issue, question, or ideas you are going to write about. It's especially good if you can get in a "hook" or attention grabber to capture people's interest. For example, "By the year 2060, ninety percent of the country of Bangladesh may be underwater."\nIn the conclusion, summarize your point of view and bring closure to the essay.  \nHere's a website with hints on essay writing.\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/

I would be cautious.  If your teacher only wanted 1000 words, they could take off points for going over the limit.    Since its a guidance, you could go over a little, but 5x over is quite a bit.  I think you should try to give the main idea, without going in to too many details.  They probably just want to check to make sure that you understand what you're doing, without having to read 10 pages.

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!

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.

Just do your homework...it's not really that hard. You could have finished it in the time it took to write it here.

Obviously, no one on Yahoo Answers went along on your school field trip, so, no one here can give you any specifics for your article.\n\nSo far as format is concerned, think of a snappy-sounding "headline" for your story. Buy a newspaper or two today and look at the way the articles in a real newspaper are set up. It's pretty much like a regular essay - there's a beginning, a middle, and an end (but not a "conclusion"-sounding one).\n\nNewspaper articles always stress the five things all people want to know - the who, the what, the where, the how, and the why. If you can cover all five of those points, you'll be able to compose a good article.\n\nMake sure it is neatly typed, is spell-checked, and contains proper sentence structure. If there are quotes from anybody, make sure to include proper punctuation. And last, but not least, learn your lesson about putting off assignments till the last minute. This will backfire almost every time. Good luck!
