To complete your paper without effort, you have to adapt to a certain writing method. This helps in simplifying and streamlining the process. So what is the trick? Rather than sitting down and creating an essay from the beginning to the end (just like what many students do), it is easier to research beforehand and place each item into an outline. The framework will consist of all the information you require to write your work. The assignment will essentially write itself. Your work will be to explain your thought processes.
Here is how you format the outline; (the example provided below contains three paragraphs, but you can add other paragraphs if necessary)
Use the introduction paragraph to state what you would like to discuss. You can provide references and quotes if you need to.
Identify the main point of the task you are writing. Decide on what you will convey and then put it into words. The entire assignment should evolve around this particular point, so ensure that you are clear and concise. This statement is usually placed in the introduction paragraph, near the end.
Explain your idea and list all the supporting quotes or references. Relate that to the second paragraph topic.
Explain your idea and list all the supporting quotes or references. Relate that to the third paragraph topic.
Explain your idea and list all the supporting quotes or references. Relate that to the third paragraph topic.
The conclusion paragraph details how you intend to unite the outlined topics into one solid point. Most students make a common mistake by using the conclusion paragraph to summarize the assignment. But this isn’t the case. You should use this chance to drive your argument home. The conclusion section should unite all the paragraphs as one hence solidifying your thesis.
While finding each reference or quote to include within the document, ensure that you cite each reference. This will help you not to struggle after you finish writing the essay to see where each quotation is placed. List the citations on the outline, and you will not worry about tracing them from the research notes.
