3.What's going to be in the rest of your essay

In the rest of the introduction outline what’s going to be in the essay

Intro is MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ESSAY.

Use the plan as a guide for this (This is why the plan is useful)

BY USING QUOTE, ANSWER THE QUESTION AGAIN TOWARDS THE END OF YOUR INTRO.

4.For evaluate and assess questions, MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A CLEAR JUDGEMENT IN BOTH YOUR TOPIC + CONCLUDING SENTENCES FOR EVERY PARAGRAPH!

Make sustained topic and concluding sentences that address the key verb and answer the question. Make them detailed in order to guide the marker.

IN THESE TOPIC+CONCLUDING SENTENCES IF THERES A QUOTE, MAKE SURE YOU REFERENCE IT!

5. Know the key verbs

If you get asked an ‘explain’ for 20 marker = cause, effect+relationships. if you get asked ‘explain’, they want A LOT OF DETAIL

Assess question? think of it as ‘how much?’ - but make a judgement

Evaluate? - Think of it as ‘To what extent’ - also make a judgement

In order to answer the question you must have a sustained argument throughout your essay, this must be shown in topic and concluding sentences.
