Top tips for planning and writing an essay!

Hello lovelies

So my last blog was about exam tips and tricks from law student.

Check it out here if you missed it!

Today’s blog post is a basic run through of how I plan my essays, research and all the good stuff

Firstly, select the essay question (if you get options)

- When selecting a question, I like to make a basic outline of what I would like to talk about and research - this helps me to find an interesting question which I will want to work on!

Once I have selected y question, I use my general plan to put my basic points into;

Question title ie Critically discuss the extent to which law should enforce morality.

Intro

• I have started writing my intro last ( the explanation is in my laast post.)

• Any definitions I include here

• If there is anything more general to you or your course include

Main points

• Include your main points, references you will use to support the point

• Criticisms?

Continue this for the rest of your points I would aim for 3-4 depending on your word count.

Conclusion

• Summarise what you have discussed

• Do not include new points

• Keeps it concise and clear!

So there is my basic structure, it doesn’t work for every assessment but its good to use when researching as it keeps you on track. I also like to make this into a bubble may with the headings and then subheadings with the point, reference and any analysis.
