Guidlines for essay writing

1) Clarity- Are you ideas clear? Does your reader understand what you're trying to express?
2) Unity- Are your ideas connected or related? Can your reader see how?
3) Cohesion- Is your assignment fluid? Does it flow well?

Notes on Essay writing:
Make sure to work on your:
Thesis Statements- what you're trying to prove
Topic Sentences- introducing your ideas
Arguments- make sure you bring in proofs and example
Concluding sentences in your paragraphs

Basic Essay Structure:

Intro paragraph- thesis+three proofs
Par 1: 1st argument/proof with examples from the text
Par 2: 2nd agrument, proof with examples from the text
"
Conclusion- reiterate thesis
restate arguments
