Tips for self- analysis
Introduction. Introduce the topic. What is the essay about?
Body. Choose a few of the talking points provided in the prompt or consider your own. Develop the essay by providing examples, narrating events, comparing and contrasting one idea to another, etc.
Conclusion. Sum up your ideas. Why is the essay important?
You are not writing a narrative. You may retell events to support your analysis, but the majority of your essay should not be a story.
Always use paragraphs. Paragraphs help organize your essay but most importantly your thoughts. Figure out which ideas connect with what. Related ideas should be in the same or neighboring paragraphs.
Original title. Create a unique title that hints at the main idea of the essay.
