Some essays will follow a similar format. For example, in Art and English, you can use a variation of:<\/h3>\n

Point<\/em><\/h3>\n

Evidence<\/em><\/h3>\n

Explanation<\/em><\/h3>\n

<\/h4>\n

Other points for organising your work:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Make sure that your points are clearly stated, that your evidence links logically to your pint and that you really develop your explanation into something thoughtful and analytical.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    Essays will usually be organised chronologically (meaning from beginning to the end of a subject).<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    In English, you would be expected to also include context<\/strong> <\/span>if you were producing a critical essay. This may also apply to essays in Modern Studies or History<\/h3>\n

    <\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Purpose<\/span><\/h1>\n

    What’s your purpose<\/strong>? (hint, it’s not just the name of Justin Beiber’s latest album!!) An essay without a clear purpose can make your points disorganised and therefore confuses the reader.<\/h3>\n

    <\/h3>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    If your purpose is to PERSUADE-<\/strong> you need to incorporate persuasive techniques to convince your reader<\/h2>\n

    \nIf your purpose is to INFORM<\/strong>– you should have facts and evidence to educate your reader (+ no bias!)<\/h2>\n

    \nIf your purpose is to ENTERTAIN-<\/strong> you should be including elements of creative writing<\/h2>\n

    \nIf your purpose is to ANALYSE-<\/strong> you should be examining and explaining your topic critically.<\/h2>\n

    \nIf your purpose is to EVALUATE-<\/strong> you should explain how effective\/ineffective your topic is<\/h2>\n
