There should be a total of 5 of more paragraphs in an essay, and more than 5 sentences in a paragraph.

1. Brainstorming

This is where you decide on your topic that you will be writing on.
Keep asking yourself questions about the topic, in which you may find subjects to branch of the topic.
Doing this is basically like creating an Outline, which is what you should be making while brainstorming.

Keep your brainstorming organized, by writing in Roman Numerals and Sub-Articles.



2. Drafting

When finished with brainstorming, you can write your first draft.
After writing your first draft, you will want to have your Teacher / Professeur / Friend read it.
Wait a few hours, and review changes made with fresh eyes.

With this, you may continue onto more drafting, which will lead to your final draft.

3. Editing

In applying these changes, your teacher will be impressed with your final draft, and award you with an A+!

4. Thesis


A thesis statement is basically a focal point on which you can base your entire essay on.
A thesis should be summed up in a concise fashion, and easy to understand.



5. Introduction

Now, it's time to write the essay.
Based on the Outline and Thesis, you must start your essay by catching the reader's attention.
Start off with an interesting fact or statement that pertains to your topic.

Your introduction should gradually set up your argument, and lead into your thesis.
The introduction is used mainly for setting up your essay, which draws the reader on.

6. Body Paragraphs

Using your Outline, choose your sub-topics in any order that you feel works best for your essay.
These paragraphs should be supported with evidence, and represented in an easy to read form.

Body Paragraphs should consist of more than 5 sentences.

7. Conclusion

The conclusion of an essay should quickly wrap-up all the details within.
You may also include telling the reader to do something in response to the essay.
