With only 500 words to work with, your essay is going to be about 3 or 4 paragraphs long. That's not much space so you'll have to be fairly conservative in your writing.\n\nYour introductory paragraph should explain what recycling is and what can be recycled. You want to start with fairly general statements and move towards your specific thesis.\n\nYour thesis should be one sentence long and found at the end of the introductory paragraph. It should be insightful; that is, it shouldn't be so obvious that your reader could have come up with it on there own without having done any research. If you're not sure if your thesis is insightful, ask yourself, "So what?". This will tell you if your thesis answers the question of why it is important to recycle.\n\nYour next paragraph should explain your thesis in detail. If your thesis talks about the economic benefits to recycling in your region you should provide a well set up source, followed by a quote from this source and then an explanation of how this quote supports your main point. Don't just string quotes together, your reader wants to know why YOU think your school should recycle, not what Dr. Bob Dobbs thinks.\n\nAfter you have written your 1 or 2 body paragraphs, you should write a conclusion. You can use this space as the one last push for your idea. Relate it to the larger picture. If your school recycles, how will it benefit other schools, future students and your city as a whole?\n\nYou should probably also provide a works cited. This is a list of the sources you used in the body of your paragraph. If recycling is going to be an administrative decision (and I imagine it will be given the cost of starting such programs) they will probably be interested in further research on the proposal you have made.\n\nWell, I hope this helped you out. Good luck with your proposal!

The other answers were valid and good advice.  I would add that you should critically look at the short paper and see if you could outline it.  If your points follow smoothly you should easily be able to create an outline from what you've written.  If you can't, maybe some re-organization is in order.  As a last thought for you, the adage "tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them, and then tell them what you told them" will make sure you have a beginning, a middle with your information, and a summary (beginning and summary can just be a short sentence).    Since your essay is short, I've included a link to a short article speaking about seven steps to writing a good essay.  Good luck.  Hope you get an Excellent written in red across the top!

Your teacher is asking for an expository paper -- one that explains. These are pretty forumlaic. Imagine that you are talking to an alien who knows nothing about writing. Start by telling them what it is, then tell them how you use it, why it's important, and where you might see writing used. If you write an introduction (what the paper is about), and a couple of good 3-4 sentence paragraphs about each of these things, you'll have two pages.\n\nHere's some help: www.stanford.edu/~arnetha/expowrite/info.html .\n\nGood luck,\n~Tia~\nLive from the big, purple brain\nhttp://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html\nASK YOUR QUESTIONS, CALL THE BRAIN - 212-382-3592

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!

One could easily give you what they did of the summer but how would that help you learn.  How about I give you some suggestions for things to include in your essay.  \nFirst you need a good opening.....So you could include how you were feeling that summer is finally here.  Using a lot of DETAIL in your description.  Next include several things that you did.  Even if it was sleeping late OR catching up on some past scenes of CSI.  In these paragraphs you could include the simple events like eating or the more exciting events like a movie, or shopping or a game of golf.  In closing you could put something like...in conclusion I discovered that it is not so much of what some one does on vacation but...how well they did it.   Best of luck...remember a good grade will be from the DETAILS in your essay.   I know you can do it..

To start out my essays I usually question the reader...that way they will think about what it is they will be reading. Or sometimes try to start with a statistic or interesting fact so that they will be interested in reading your essay.\n'What are some things you think may put out a fire ? Household materials are proven to work during a fire emergency, such as baking soda ,salt,flour......."  Then you could keep on with what you wrote. If this is a 5 paragraph essay though you would need more than an intro. sentence.If its a 5 paragraph essay you can think about using \n'What are some things that you think may put out a fire ? Some household materials are proven to work.In the next few paragraphs you will find out what some of these materials are.\nAlthough they are simple materials that you can probably find next to you in the kitchen you will find this information helpful to know. Also here you will read about a controlled experiment that will determine which liquid or material turns out the fire faster.' \n That is just an idea that you can use for your introduction paragraph. Then after the Introduction paraghraph you can re- write exactly what you have already done. For the thesis paragraph you have to prove whether what you hypothsised was correct or not. After you get your result you can do your thesis paragraph. * one thing though....i would reconsider in trying to put out a fire with gasoline....just to be on the safe side. Hope that this all helped !!! \n\n^-^ :-)

more specifically..in ur intro, u should state ur thesis statement, then state ur three topic sentences that will give ur reader an insight of what u will be talking abt in order to prove ur thesis statement.end ur intro with a conclusion that restates ur thesis statement but mind u-use other words..dont repeat words..\nthen coming to ur first topic sentence (1st paragraph)..give as much proof as possible to show ur thesis statement is right..while giving the evidence, keep relating back to the thesis statement..end the paragraph with a conclusion..use connectives like in addition, altogether etc. so that ur essay seems to be 'flowing'. do the same to ur third paragraph and fourth for ur second and third topic statements...\nnow coming to ur main conclusion..restate the thesis in a another way now..but dont distort what u r intending to say...\nand oh yes, dont forget to write the works u cited to get the proof..\n\nHope I have proved helpful to u!! :)

Use an outline. Ask anyone who knows anything about Rome how and then your essay will be organized, trust me, all you need is an outline. It looks like but isn't extra work, it's help..

Just find a good way to summarize your essay. You could try several things, but my main strategy would be to stress the importance of the thesis statement of the essay in the first line, and then elaborate on it with all possible points summarized.. each of which should have been stated in the body of the essay.

I truly hope you're not looking for an essay.  I'll help you break it down so it's easier to write.\n\n1st paragraph -- State your view.  Do you think it's a good idea?  Why?  Why not?\n\n2nd, 3rd, 4th paragraphs -- one paragraph for each of your reasons.  Make certain to use details to support them.  For example: "One reason why I think this is a bad idea is because kids do not know which teachers are good.(topic sentence)  Kids may pick teachers they think are easy graders or who do not give much homework. (details)"  \n\n5th paragraph -- urge the principal to consider your views, and restate them for clarity.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck.

For any paper, here's a few good fool-proof tips. \n\nFirst of all, no whether you enjoy outlines or not, make one, and  you can't fail. Just think about what "social" or "cultural" effects your family, culture, or even home town have on you, and seperate those effects into what will later be as many body paragraphs as you want. \n\nSecond, somewhere in your introduction you need a sentence that states your number one main point in the whole paper. This should include a "what" and a "why". For example: My mother taught me to be an independent latina by raising me alone in a strange city when she moved to Chicago from Spain.\n\nNext, each paragraph has a topic sentence, which includes one of the "effects", and this topic sentence should relate to or prove the main sentence in the introduction paragraph. \n\nAdditionally, any following sentence should relate to your topic sentence, and should go in the order of fact, and then afterthought. \n\nIn the conclusion, keep it light and simple, and just quickly wrap things up. \n\nOfcourse we've all learned these things in elementary school, but when you lay it out like this in a formulaic type of way, it all just sort of seems to flow. Take it easy, and stay on topic. And more importantly, whatever class this paper is for, include as many vocab words relating to it as possible. \n\nThis formula on its own can get you a B. With a little hard work, you got your self an A. Good Luck!!

As justcurious said, first just begin writing.  Get some thoughts written down.  Try to make it very personal.  Don't try to use lots of complicated words and phrases - remember that the people who have to read the essays will probably have to read hundreds of them, so you want to find a way to make yours stand out.  Your writing must be clear and to the point.  Definitely don't go over the word limit - shorter may be better.  When you start deleting and editing, make sure that every word you keep in your essay has a purpose and conveys something about your intent and need.  Have you been given a specific topic, or is it a general essay about your eligibility for aid?  That makes a difference.  Get someone who is a good writer to help you edit as it can be very difficult to edit your own writing.  Print your essay in a good clear font on good paper if you have to send a paper copy.\n\nI hope these thoughts help.
