Comments on: Did You Write The Essay The Way I Told You To? http://studyhut.com/blog/general/12#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed South Bay Tutoring Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:56:20 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jon http://studyhut.com/blog/general/12/comment-page-1#comment-314 Jon Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:09:02 +0000 http://studyhut.com/blog/?p=12#comment-314 There are more than three things that you can do to make a great essay, the following are just a few helpful tips that The Study Hut helps students with: 1. Forming a strong thesis. The thesis is the most significant part of a solid essay because each body paragraph should relate back to the thesis sentence. Strong writers may have two sentences making up the thesis, but until you reach the college level and beyond, stick with one sentence. 2. Creating an outline that guides your thoughts as you write an essay can be the single most beneficial step to the essay writing process. The outline should take anywhere from 10 minutes to a 1 hour and should not contain specifics, rather paragraph layout and ordering, listing of thoughts and ideas. It is typically a good idea to include your thesis and topic sentences in the outline to verify correct flow. Writing an outline seems like extra work, but in reality, an outline saves you time! 3. The article above talks about following a writing style of your teacher/professor. This means simply listen in class, and write down any specific instructions that you may receive, and make sure to address all of the teacher's concerns. For example, if your teacher is sexist and doesn't like boys (which I have had before), don't right an article about sports or "macho" topics that will only raise your teacher's emotions (in a bad way). Remember, EVERYONE has a bias. 4. Come to The Study Hut to work on these and all of the rest. We offer SAT writing courses as well. The SAT classes can be taken in groups, or you can schedule a one-on-one session with a tutor that specializes in outline, essay writing or whatever topic you seek improvement in. -Jon (admin) There are more than three things that you can do to make a great essay, the following are just a few helpful tips that The Study Hut helps students with:
